Damn!! I've got me some gorgeous kids! As always - I couldn't decide which pictures to add so I added all my faves from today. Cam got a handsome haircut, and the 2 of Cuy...well...look at him!
We walked dowon to Main street this morning because Cam had an appointment for a haircut, plus the Farmers Market is on on Saturdays still, so the street is closed and it's a nice time to go.
The weather was good for a morning outside as well.

When Cam got into the chair for his haircut, he was asked "So, what are we doing today?"
Cam replied "Make me like Green Day"...I guess the guy wasn't into rock as he looked at me like "huh?" I said "It's a rock band. Just clean him up and leave some red."
So he got a sweet lookin haircut, and they guy even gelled him a mohawk that was pretty awesome lookin' until he put his bike helmet on and crushed it.

Cuy did great until Sean took him into the Freckled Lion, which is a kids bookstore. His big mistake was taking him in, with NO intention of buying him the Thomas book that he KNEW would find Cuyler...so we ended up walking halfway home with him screaming in his stroller, screaming in my arms or screaming on Seans shoulders. But we made it home and all was well. The pictures below show what kind of afternoon we had. Lot's of fun!!
Those outbursts and tantrums are happening less and less, thank God...there was a time when that's just how he was. Miserable and loud and difficult.
We weren't suppsed to call him that...difficult...or high need. We were supposed to refer to him as "spirited". It's a nice way of saying "difficult and high need"
Looking back, it WAS difficult caring for his high needs.
NOW - he's spirited!
Today was my best day all week, I think. My hormones must have calmed a bit. I think I cried every day last week for one reason or another...or no reason at all.

I think I am going to call the supervisor I interviewed with and tell her to take me out of consideration (as if they haven't already!). I have really been thinking about it ALOT since the interview and I don't want the job. I really don't. I have to agree with them and admit that, emotionally, I am not ready for a job like that and I'm not sure I will be - or will want to be, for that matter. I think I will need something in my life that has nothing to do with kids...especially special needs. That will be the best thing for me. I think.
We'll see.

We had a really great day. Did I convey that already? After dinner we played outside for awhile and just hung out in the backyard. We played baseball and football. We sat on top of the hill and sang songs with Cuyler, while Cam ran his arse off going up and down the hill over and over again. It was just one of those times where nothing much was going on, except us being together and hanging out and playing with our boys. And I just felt good. Content...
