Temper, Temper, Temper

What are we going to do? I pray that this is just a phase but Edward has gotten a temper going on ever since he turned 4 last month. He has taken to hitting, biting, screaming so hard his face turns beat red (I can only imagine what that is doing to this little guys blood pressure level), chocking and clawing at us when we are trying to punish him or he is not getting his way. Does anyone have any suggestions? I just don't know where all this anger is coming from.

Husbands Sense of Humor

I asked Kirk to give me a check to transfere funds from his checking account to our main account and do you know what that silly man wrote on the memo portion of the check that he gave me to deposit while I am in OKC? He wrote: For Sexual Services Rendered. He says he refuses to write a new check. I wonder what our bank in OKC will think when they see that.

Finally Finished A Book

I finished Saving Levi by Lisa Misraje Bently yesterday, while Edward was in Kindermusik class. It was a very moving, touching book. I highly suggest it to everyone to read, especially if you are considering missionary work, adopting a special needs child (especially from a foreign country).

Will They Survive???

I keep wondering if my going away for a whole weekend is a great idea. I am not sure Edward and Kirk (or my house for that matter) will surive the weekend. I keep wondering if I should just cancel. I wont, I need to go but I know that I will be spending time worrying if they are killing each other. I guess you never can truly leave your family, can you?

Edward's 4yr Well Child Check-up

Edward had his 4 yr well child check up a few weeks ago. He measured in at 40 1/4 inches tall. He weighed in at 36lbs (at this rate, he will be riding in a booster seat until he can drive a car...lol!!!). He is where he should be in somethings and ahead in others. They tried to do an eye exam on him but it wasn't really very helpful. I am sure next year will be a better time for him to do it. He had his ears checked, they are good his right ear was a little off but she felt that, that could be due to fluid behind the ears due to allergies. He seems to have inherited that from me, poor kid. Sneezes like crazy some days. We have him on Claritin for Kids daily now. He seems much better.

Edward's Day

Today was Edward's first day Summer Bowling League. He has a team mate this session, which is great. Last 2 sessions he was the only one on his team. He scored a 73 his first game and a 69 his second game. He started off the very first frame of the session with a Strike. The 2 boys (Edward and his team mate, William) decided to name their team the Speedy Rollers. He also had his first day of his week long Kindermusik camp. He loved it. We go every morning this week, it is an early rise week for us. I am considering doing the Homeschooling Bowling League in the fall, William is homeschooled and they were a part of that league. She said it was great. They also had the cutest T-shirts for their league. That league is during the school year from Sept to April.

A Edward Funny on the way to the Zoo yesterday

Yesterday, while we were driving to the zoo for Kirk's company. Edward was sitting in the back of the van in his car seat behind his wagon (had to take one seat out to fit it), says to his daddy in a very stern tone of voice: "Daddy we're going to the zoo today! There are lots of animals there, so you need to stay with us and not get lost. If you get lost then you will be in LOTS of trouble."
