Let's be honest....

Having two kids is like this 😳😖😰😨😣😢😱 (emoticons dont work so imagine a bunch of crying faces)and sometimes this 😜😍😉😊😂😝😃 (happy faces)
But mostly this 😳🚉🔥💨 (a train wreck with an explosion)
Yes my life has changed so drastically that I barely have time to pee let alone write a blog about it... But here I am finally!!
Holt is 4 months and 16lbs of pure blissful baby joy and chubby rolls and bright blue eyes and drooly lips and fuzzy hair and just complete and utter adorableness!
Siena is 3 1/2 and saying crazy things and loving her big brother so much she grits her teeth whenever she sees him! She mimics everything kyle and I do to her sweet baby brother, for instance saying "HIIIIIIII OH HIIIII AWWWW HE'S SO CUTE, HIIIIIIII BABY BOOOOOY!" and whenever anyone stops us to look at him she proudly says "that's my baby brother!"
She has of course turned into a slightly different person! Rightfully so as her life has been flipped upside down lately! A baby brother appeared and then two weeks later daddy started going to Vancouver every week for work from Monday to Thursday! So she has certainly been known to have some pretty, what's the word, atrocious? Ballistic? Psychotic? Yes, psychotic! MELTDOWNS!
For instance... Today... Goes potty, washes her hands, stomps out of the bathroom crying her little eyes out... And I'm like "what happened?? What's wrong!" and she says "I. wasn't. finished. washing my hands!" oh my god seriously? I drained the sink too quickly?
Then the other day she made me cry... Yes she made me cry, yes this happens often...
Picture this... I've had a long day in Vancouver waiting for Kyle to be off work. We are at a park (Holt is fussing and I'm trying to get him to sleep in the carrier, the only way he naps) and I'm trying to get her to sit still and watch a baseball game while waiting for kyle... Instead she finds a sharp piece of glass and brings it over to show me... What do I do? Throw it away and tell her it's dangerous... What does she do? Psychotic meltdown... "I wanted to keep that glass!!!!!!!!!" then we go to the playground across the field which I totally know is going to be a disaster... There's a sweet little girl playing on it with her grandma, the little girl is about 18mos old and the 3 1/2 yr old from hell stomps over to the jungle gym... She immediately climbs up the most dangerous way possible standing on a sort of balance beam looking thing and climbing through the steps up to the big slide... Clearly this beam is just for supporting the entire jungle gym apparatus and NOT FOR SUPPORTING A 3 1/2 YEAR OLD! So I say "Siena sweetie, that's very dangerous... Please go up the stairs..." and she say "Uggggghhhh hmmmph NO!" and continues, literally could fall and break a bone at any moment.... So I say nicely since the sweet little girl and her grandma are watching "Siena please get down from there and climb up properly..." "NO MOMMY I LIKE DOING IT THIS WAY HMMMPH!" meanwhile the cute little girl is just staring at Siena and the grandma is thinking "holy shit that kid is the boss of you! Please get out of here before you teach my sweet granddaughter this horrible behaviour!" then I start to walk towards Siena telling her again that she can't do it and she says "GO AWAY MOMMY!" in a deep angry voice then she comes face to face with the grandma and the little girl and she says "I'M SIENA AND I'M 3." the grandma is actually scared of her now and says "ohhh hello this is Annie and she's 1 1/2." Siena turns goes down the slide and says "come on mom I want to go do some scootering...." then she sees kyle coming down the path and turns on the charm "DADDY!!!!" and I stand there and cry. In retrospect it was actually funny but I was too tired to laugh so I cried instead...
I guess the terrible 3s will pass... She has her sweet moments 90% of the time but man is she bossing me around.
Back to Holt... He's an angel all he does is sleeps and eats... He literally can't be awake for more than an hour and a half without crying from exhaustion.
Other updates....
I'm recovered from pushing his 9lb self out and our apartment is a complete disaster area and I would rather move out than clean at this point... Oh and I am Siena's bitch.

Here are some photos!
