C has finally started that personality associated with the age "2". I'm starting to hear "Cameron's toys!!!" and " NO!". My once very gental son hauled off and smacked our cat Jack the other day. His latest choice of weapon is a turkey baster, which he took off down the hallway after the cat this evening. I know it's normal, but I feel like I've taken on the roll of prison warden, not Mommy. I feel like I'm constantly trying to keep my resident in line! I know this hard work will pay off in the long run. I hope to send a well mannered, compasionate and empathetic young man off to the world. That is so much pressure!
Luckily, I don't have to do it solo for too much longer. My better half is coming home in TWO MONTHS! We have gotten into the double digit days now and I couldn't be more thrilled! It seems like since we have surpassed the 12 month mark, my brain has said enough and I've been missing him triple time lately.
I have been on this health kick for the last year. Eating right, working out here at home and such. I have seen some pretty good results in these last few months and my confidence has been so much better. So much better in fact, I decided to try out the Step class at the Gym here on post. I took step about ten years ago, then I was 19 and capable of anything. Well....... Well........ Let's just say, it was a humbling experience. I really hope that class is ADVANCED because otherwise I am not in the shape I thought I was and not nearly as coordinated as I fancied myself. I've been three times and it's not getting much better. I have promised myself to give it a solid month before I write it off my list, so thank God, Feb is a short month! I have recruited my friend Lindsay to take it with me starting tomorrow, maybe some back up will help.

M,
So glad that R will be home soon. C is just acting like a boy, there will be times that you want to just pull your hair out, or lock yourself in a room...however when Ayden turned 4 it is like he is a different child...there are much less times that I want to pull my hair out, so remember "this too shall pass". I am so glad that you feel like a prison warden because trust me (working with preschoolers for the last million years), those children who have no discipline at home...well, to put it nicely...the teachers can tell!
You are a wonderful mother, you look fantastic and best of luck with the step class!
I know what you mean about being done. When the guys were in Kosovo, I was done at 6 months. I think that since that was the original timeline and it got extended to 9, that I still had 6 months in my head. That's all I had prepared for and that's all I felt like I could do. I don't think the higher ups realize how much it messes with your head to have the deployment lengths changed, even though we all knew it was coming. 12 months is too long, let alone 15. I feel for you and you're doing a great job. 2 months left--you're in the home stretch!
