Catch Up

I feel like it's been forever since I posted...
My babies are all better and my mom is back up and staying with us! Yay!!!!!
Christmas is going to be wonderful!!!
My new business is officially launched and I've actually gotten some orders!!! I can't even express how exciting this is.
Not only does this represent financial freedom for me but more importantly, it represents the the great possibility of being able to be home with my children and still bring an income. Now some may view the "financial freedom" statement as short sighted and even naive BUT I choose to see it as positive. For years I have worked very hard and made other people and companies lots and lots of money. Why couldn't I make myself money? So I decided to get off my butt and do something about it.
My all time favorite quote is:
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." Henry Ford
On a different note, Madison has officially entered the infamous "terrible two's".
Wow has she been in a bad mood the last couple of days and apparently, I'm the one who triggers her moodiness. Lucky me! It has something to do with her become more opinionated now and her jealousy of her brother. Anyway, she's been having lots of meltdowns. I have since purchased "The Happiest Toddler On The Block" and am furiously reading through it to figure out the secret toddler code that miraculously halts these crazy meltdowns. :/
Papo on the other hand is very calm... His only blow ups are about getting his food to him on time or early! That one does not miss a meal no matter what! He's been getting braver these days. He walks along the furniture and has even let go for a couple of seconds. He'll be 14 months soon. Madison started walking at 14 months so maybe he will too. I hope so because my arm is about to fall off!! He's a big boy!!! Another milestone is that he's actually saying "Mama" now instead of "Dada". And I love it!!!
