bump (in the road?)

Lets get that depressing post bumped down on the blog!  Dance went a little better this week. Klaire was most upset, I think because of the fact that she got left in class and had to deal with the chaos that was Grace and I that night. I ended up breaking the studios rules (come on they are just in a preschool class!) and going in the class with them. I sat on the floor in the back and didn't say a word.  They sort of participated in the back with me, and I could tell they TOTALLY wanted to join in.  Progress. Baby steps, I'm hoping this was just a bump in the road to them enjoying dance eventually (again).  Grace has been doing better, not quite as defiant. She has now been asking over and over the weeks schedule.  Then the night before getting all upset about what is coming up the next day. sigh. She's also been really "edgy" and Brian and I both feel like were are always on the verge of setting her off. I teeter between giving into her too much as to not set her off, and feeling like that might turn her into a spoiled brat. There will be no spoiled brats in my house!  We're getting there.  If I've learned anything in the last 4 years its that I'll always be learning about this parenting thing.  Anyway, this is verging on depressing again...I'm feeling much more optimistic and excited for Halloween.  We are going to have a couple of princesses in the house, as if we don't already!?

I added the pictures from our Caboose "camping" trip too!
