It's raining and has been raining an week. I really want to go to the beach. Maybe next week. I'm giving DD a later nap and then we're going to go visit our cousin's family.

It's been a fairly nice day here, a little on the cooler side but not as bad as yesterday.
DD1 is napping and once she is up we will go pick up a few things I bought on a yard sale site and maybe hit up the store, we will see hhow DD2 is at that point because she's barely napped today.
Also, we had a dance class today and of course DD1 just did what she wanted for most of it. She will eventually start to listen..... right??? Or am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm always the one with the kid who just wants to explore and do her own thing.
younglove316 didn't she just turn 2? That seems young to expect them to follow directions. DD did gymnastics when she was 2 and she was all over the place some of the time. The instructors told me not to sweat it and she got better. I think it's good for them.
AFM, the baby still has a fever but he def feels better today. He's playing for longer periods. We went to dollar tree this morning and I got the big kids some butterfly nets and they spent some time this morning out chasing butterflies. DS seemed surprised they didn't catch one.

ashiscute yes she did in March. I figured it was normal but the side eye from a friend just made me wonder. She has a son a few months younger and he always stays right by her. Same with another friend and I can feel the judgement sometimes.

Every kid is different. They could have kids that are really calm and listen easily. They likely won't be so lucky with their next!
younglove316, when my daughter was 2, she didn't just wander--she screamed, used drumsticks to color on the walls, tried to climb me, threw the toys out of the room, etc. I am sure she was the worst behaved child anyone had ever seen except that she didn't tend to be physically violent with the other kids. Now my son is very calm and he's in French with kids who just turned 2, and they all throw all the toys like egg shakers, some hit him, one sits on him, one does somersaults, one kid hits the teacher, many of them scream--it's a mess. We requested to be moved to a different class because I seriously thought he was going to be hurt by a projectile. I never judge kids or their parents except when the parents let their kids hurt others--c'mon. But trust me, as long as your kid is generally happy and seems to be getting something out of it, and isn't ruining it for others, that's as good as it gets. In situations where my daughter was disruptive such that it was ruining the class for others, we would just leave that day and if it was a regular thing, we quit. Now, at 3.5, she's a star student and loves just about any class.
