Shelly's got another tooth, she's up to seven now and she's DANGEROUS, watch out! Besides the teeth, she's got super sharp nails and doesn't hold back when it comes to getting our attention by grabbing a lip or a nose or a cheek and just hanging on for dear life.
Archer's been showing a lot of indications of jealously lately. He did so well when Shelly first came home that i thought we had gotten lucky and he was going to be just fine with the change. But now that she walks around and picks up his toys, or wants his food, he's not doing so great with it. I don't blame him, she's invading his space and his time with Mom & Dad, but its gone a little too far and we're in crack-down mode now. He was having a tantrum the other day, and she walked into the room and he ran up to her and shoved her down. She started screaming, he was already screaming, and I was about to have a meltdown of my own.
I loaded everybody into the car and went to Mom & Dad's house. Thank goodness they live close. When Archer asked why we were going there, I told him because I needed to be with some other adults. I needed to get to a place where the adults outnumbered the kids... Whew!
Shelly's plus one is her new tooth. Archer's plus one is the new baby sister that's always getting in his way. And my plus one is always knowing there's a place I can go where there will be more adults than kids to help me get through those rough spots.
