The Dukes Wild

Its 2am. I've also seen 9, 10, 11, and midnight pass tonight. Teething sucks.

So one thing I've learned about being a parent is that some things are futile arguments. There are some things like not allowing coloring on the walls I'm firm on. Or at least I am when I catch Nev at it. I realized today that there is an on going battle of the wills here in our house. Everyday we get up, have breakfast, and then get dressed.

Now the battle begins.

Nev wants to wear one thing, I choose something entirely different. She is a lover of all things *pretty* which includes dresses. Now I'm not against little girls in dresses. If it were still say even 70 degrees outside this morning fight wouldn't even occur. However now that it's winter time, little summer dresses are a bit impractical. She must put clothing on that covers the majority of her body. I'm not in the mood to take a toddler to the ER for pneumonia.
So we wrestle, she screams, and eventually as the larger person I prevail and she ends up with a t-shirt and jeans on. She stomps down the hall and waits until I'm pre-occupied with her little sister to promptly strip every ounce of clothing off. Little booger anyways. So it's not unlikely that if you come to our house at any given time this is what your probably apt to see.

After a little pressure from my little brother, I caved and joined blogger. My life consists of laundry and breaking up sibling disputes so it remains to be seen if there's ever anything too interesting to write about.
