Potty Talk...

If I wanted to make this blog seem like everything in our lives was perfect I would only post the best pictures and share the good stories. A lot of the blog is just that, but it is our memories together as a family. There are some days though where I feel like I have been completely dragged down by a 3 and 4 year old from the moment they get up in the morning. I used to be such a morning person... get up get my coffee, have some alone time and enjoy my morning. I would get things done etc. Ever since I have had children this does not seem to be the case. As soon as I get up I feel like the kids are demanding things of me, mommy I need warm milk, mommy turn cartoons on, mommy make me breakfast, mommy don't go to work, mommy mommy mommy.... Now I feel like I need about an hour to wake up to where I can just get going. I never used to be like this. Recently as soon as I get up it's like the boys have this need to start using potty words on top of all the morning demands and then they continue the entire day. It gets our day off to the wrong start and it makes me start my day putting them in time out of using these words. I get so tired of hearing potty words. I finally asked moms on facebook for their advice and got some good advice.. soap and using the verse about clean talk from our mouths, potty words being allowed to be said only in the bathroom, vinegar in their mouth each time they say a potty word. I just feel like my boys are spending way too much time in time out for things, but I can't seem to get them corrected. It is really frustrating! I am determined to start some new tactics for behavior, but I need to get it under control before this new baby comes in 5 months. I have a lot to do! Of course while I am writing this my children are being so nice to each other, talking kindly, and playing together like best friends. I wish it was this way all day every day! I have a lot to learn.
