Penrod's Play Pen: April 2019

From Facebook...

4/6/2019 - Everytime I turn them the right way, he flips them back upside down. LOL

4/9/2019 - You know that feeling when you wake up feeling refreshed, alert and ready to be productive that day? If so, please tell me your tricks!! I am SO tired of feeling groggy and just blah all day long. I am tired of depending on caffeine to keep me functioning throughout the day. (Which I don't have everyday, but it's at least 3-4 times a week). Hashimotos and Hypothyroidism is kicking my butt! And so is this stinker baby who still wakes up at least three times a night. I am literally functioning on probably 3-4 hours (sometimes less) of VERY broken sleep every single night. Last night I don't know if I even got a full hour in cause I've been fighting a chest cold and literally coughed almost non-stop all night. I even ended up taking cough medicine (which I never take) cause I was desperate for some bit of relief. I'm exhausted and cranky all the time and I'm just so done with it!! I want to be happy and energetic...for me and especially for my kids, but I just don't see how. Sorry. Rant over.

4/12/2019 - I think one of his bottom eye lashes is confused and thinks it's a top lash. Do you see it?

4/17/2019 - Your input please... No bashing. Please read to the end...(He's blocked from this post)

So, we have been together for a while now. I love him, more than I've ever loved anyone. He can be so sweet and loving, but everything is so one sided. He doesn't work, doesn't cook, doesn't clean. He contributes nothing to the house except for messes that I end up cleaning up myself. And he doesn't appreciate anything I do, doesn't even seem to notice the majority of it.

For the most part he's always in a good mood, but when he gets upset, he becomes so unreasonable. There's no talking to him about it. His communication skills are severely lacking. So most of the time it's just a guessing game of trying to figure out what's bothering him this time. Like dude, just tell me what's wrong, how can I fix it or make it better. He won't tell me.

He always wants me to do what HE wants to do. Even when I spend nearly all of my time with him, he wants more. Sometimes it's hard to even get things done like laundry, or dishes cause he expects me to be 24-7 available to him. He will even WAKE ME UP in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, to cater to him. Because he wants to eat or hang out. I rarely get a decent nights sleep and he doesn't care how it affects me during the day.

Like I said, I love him more than anything. But it's so much. I try venting to my friends and family but they are always making excuses for his behavior. “He’s only 2 years old...He's just a toddler. Things will get better." but I don't know. Do people really ever change? 

4/18/2019 - This baby is not feeling well today and doesn't want to be put down. I handed him to my oldest to use the bathroom and came back and he was asleep. I tried to take him back to get him to sleep more and put him in his bed, but I was told no. lol My baby and my biggest baby.

4/22/2019 - Someone found a black licorice jelly bean. And he likes it!! He is definitely my son. I may or may not eat it like this too.

lol

4/22/2019 - Sometimes he's helpful.

4/22/2019 - This baby!! lol...He thought it was a game. His personality is really starting to come out more lately. He will be 11m old tomorrow!

4/22/2019 - This boy loves his books! And proof to those that don't think he talks. He is so shy in public.

4/22/2019 - Eamon picks on his big brother, Cayden a lot! They are best of friends and worst of enemies. lol

4/22/2019 - Elan had ice cream a few nights ago and went a little loopy. I also caught him standing on his own for a few seconds. First time him doing it himself.

4/22/2019 - This cracks me up every time!!

4/222/2019 - This was a few nights ago. He kept leaning in and opening his mouth to let Kylann do this. lol

4/29/2019 - Chase(11) decided to make his own omlet for the first time today. I think he did a pretty good job. He added green peppers, onions and bacon in the middle.

Caydo!

Cayden's skin looks blotchy like this sometimes. It worries me he is not getting enough oxygen to his heart sometimes.

That face! 💕

Poor Cayden has a fat lip. I don't remember what happened.

Goofy Kyler

He was fighting to stay awake.

I don't know why Chase filmed this so long or at all. I think he was jumping or something. It's just fun to hear them talking and how different Chase's voice sounds now.

Can't remember why I took this picture.
