Real Housewife of Catawba County

I do believe that the producers of the Real Housewives could come to Catawba County and film us girls and they'd have themselves one heck of a show! I mean, Ida alone could have her own sitcom! These people are missing out!

Brennan is a mad man. FOR REAL! Overall he is a wonderful child, but he can be a holy terror when he gets mad! I'm talking crying, screaming, stiffening his entire body, turning blood red, arching his back, hitting.............pure meanness! These fits often occur when he wants his bottle. He wants it immediately and if you don't have it ready for him at that very second then he pitches one royal fit! This child does not have an ounce of patience! I hope that this improves with age. Monday Mom went to pick him up from daycare and when she went to his room he wasn't in there. All of the teachers started grinning because he was in the office! Brennan had been sent to the office! LOL! He had started one of his crying/screaming fits and they couldn't get him to stop, so the director came in and took him into the office with her. Only my child! Mercy me! He has been really fussy lately, but I think that it's because he has cut all but one of his one year molars. That brings him to whopping total of 11, almost 12 teeth. He may have more than that. That's how many he had a few days ago when I counted. He is ready for some steak! Oh, he also has been stealing a paci from a little boy in his room. Brennan doesn't even take a paci, but the teachers said that he will only take this particular boy's, no one elses. And he does suck on it. I know that it sounds really crazy, but I went out and bought Brennan the kind of paci that he had been snatching from his buddy, and he loves it! It's probably a huge mistake to start him on a paci at 10 months old, but if it helps relieve the pain from teething then so be it. It's just crazy because I went through probably 5 differnt paci's when he was born and he wouldn't take any of them, but I didn't try this particular one which apparently he loves! How weird is that?
Brennan is pulling up on everything in sight. I'm just waiting for him to take his first step. I'm wondering if he'll be walking before his first birthday? He is such a ham! He loves to make people laugh. He'll make the silliest faces and then look to make sure that he made you laugh. He definitely wants to be the center of attention.

Ashlyn is 4 going on 16! She is all about what she's going to wear, and how she's going to do her hair. Such a prissy little thing! This week has been a theme week at daycare and she's dressed up every day (well except for Monday because mommy forgot. WHOOPS!) She's LOVED every minute of it too! Tuesday was Top That Tuesday and she dressed up with her pink feather boa, pink hat, and her sparkly mickey mouse ears. Wednesday was Wackey Wednesday and you were supposed to dress as one of your favorite fictional characters. Ashlyn went as Angelina Ballerina. Thursday was.......I don't remember what it was called, but you were supposed to dress as your favorite book character. Ashlyn LOVES this book called A Bad Case of Stripes, so She went as Camilla Cream, the character in the book who is covered in stripes. And last but now least today, Friday, is Hollywood day. She went as Barbie rocker. She was all decked out this morning in her purple dress and boots with her crown and sunglasses. Why didn't I get a picture of her this morning? She looked Sassified!!!

That's it for this installment of Catawba County Housewife. TTFN!
