DH and I are seriously considering moving to the Ames/Des Moines area this August. We had planned to wait another year but both got the bug to pursue this sooner rather than later. We moved from Charleston, SC to NE Iowa when DD1 was 4.5 months old. I'm sensing a pattern.
Ha, you know, I listened to a mini webinar once on the question, "What's the best age for children? When does it get easier?" And in the end his answer was, "The best age is whatever age your child is at right now." Truth. With independence (which is GREAT) comes attitude (NOT GREAT). There's something amazing and something intensely frustrating at every age.
My kids are 20 months and 3.5 and I go back and forth deciding which is "easier" because they are difficult and easy in such different ways.
I knowwwww I just filled up my planner for the week. At first it was empty and I was all "look at all this time!" Then I started adding in commitments and stuff I needed to get to, and it filled up SO FAST. How is there so much to do???

I'm so jealous actually. At least when you have stuff to do, the clock moves! All week all I'm doing is sitting in an empty office by myself on my phone. Waiting for the day to get over with! I'm so so so so dreading it already.
I'm kind of jealous of you!! The clock moves TOO fast and I never get everything done! We want what we can't have; that's the truth.
Is anyone else watching the Grammys and thinking what the actual fuck?! Seriously..it's such a bizarre year! Maybe it's just me and it's normally like this?! Haha
I love these ages! I'm a FTM, but I've been working with children under 7 for a few years now and I hope to center the rest of my career around the littles. I love the challenge and I think they're pretty funny
Hehehe...yes yes and I loved teaching 3-year-olds too! My DD's teachers never see the attitude side of her, and I never saw that side of many of the ones I taught. Not to be all "just you wait," but...
I'm home alone and there is currently a lizard in my kitchen. I know it won't hurt me, but it's freaking me out. I'm trying to trap it under a bowl until DH comes home to set it free, but it keeps looking at me and I don't want the darn thing taking off into a different room. I hate living in the south for this reason alone!
Pictures!!!!
alwayslastzz I definitely took pictures and have tried to post them, but I can't do it for some reason. When I try on mobile (which is what I use all the time) it says that the maximum upload size for the page has been exceeded (or something like that). I've tried switching to desktop mode on my phone, but it wants me to insert a url for the pic...the pics are on my phone's camera roll. I've also downloaded the app and I can't login. It says my username is not found. So frustrating! Has anyone else had this issue? I'm pissed because I can't participate in HDBD or any of the other threads involving pics!

You need to make a tapatalk account, it's different from your board log-in.
