Little Punk

I love this little Jack boy of mine. His little personality is coming out more and more. He is a sweet one but is also very emotional and throws some good tantrums. I am not used to it because Max was always easy to reason with and never threw a tantrum. But he is the sweetest when he gives a hug, with a little pat on the back that makes my heart almost explode.  He is also very much a mamas boy, he cries if I leave the room and still nurses a lot, and gives me the cutest open mouth kisses. He leans in slowly with his eyes wide and plants a kiss on my lips. He is hilarious, he makes the funniest faces and loves when he gets a laugh from people. He is a big flirt, and smiles and makes cute eyes at anyone who will talk to him. I can not believe he is a year and a half, when Max was this age I gave birth to Jack. Poor Max had to grow up a little sooner then Jack. It is fun to watch them grow as brothers and start to play with each other more.
Oh my Jackamo, you sweet, crazy thing, don't grow up to fast.

This past Saturday Mason had a guitar lesson in the morning, so I took the boys up to our room to hang out. They were being so funny I had to grab the camera and capture their cuteness. They were being crazy, hiding in the curtains, jumping and then flopping themselves on the bed, and wrestling each other. Also they were obsessed with the frog topper to our humidifier. Boys.

 
 
I love this one of Max, my funny kid.

I love when Max brings me dress-ups for me to put on him and Jack. They ran around chasing each other, while Max made "pew pew" noises and Jack laughed. It was awesome.
I love these boys of mine.

The balancing act

Having two boys so close in age can be a challenge sometimes. They both need so much attention and sometimes its hard to make sure they both get what they need. I love them both so much and I feel so bad that Max has to be second sometimes because Jack is still so little.
I know I can't be perfect but I wish I knew more what to do, like when Max sits on Jack or kicks him with his feet. I usually just take Max and put him right in time-out.
Sometimes he is so sweet giving Jack toys and hugging him softly, and then the next minute he is saying "mine" and pulling toys out of Jack's hands. And I know he is only 2 and is learning a lot right now, and I try to remember that.
I guess the point of this post is just to vent my thoughts and frustrations on not always knowing how to handle certain situations. I try to make sure I stop and just give them each one on one time whenever I get the chance, like cuddling and kissing Max and telling him how great he is and how much I love him, while Jack is busy playing with something.
I just hope as they grow they learn to play together and be friends. I love my boys more then anything in this world, and I want them to grow up never questioning that.
I always try to breathe before I get at Max for something and I have been trying to not get at him for every little thing and stepping back more to look at how he is maybe feeling.
It's a hard learning process but I think(hope) it is getting better and better.

Thanks for listening to me, or at least reading the first bit before getting bored...
