Rough night

Rough night last night for Damon. We are exhausted. Have you noticed his hair went blond? I seriously didn't ever see his hair fall out. But there it is, no longer dark brown, but blond.
Jace's black eye almost healed. We have no clue exactly how it happened. He and Aidan were rough housing and the next thing we knew they were both screaming, Aidan's head hurt and Jace's eye. Before it looked like he had black and purple marker on his eyelid.

Jace is now climbing the windows too. He seriously needs a padded room. I've decided to (and this is really hard for me!) show no disgust or the big one here... concern/worry for his safety and simply pull him off with a big grin and happy upbeat voice saying, "Uh oh, Jace wants some time in his crib!" Making a happy jolly parade to the time out zone. He had turned what was curiosity and enjoyment of climbing into a way to get me and his dad riled up, and kept upping the anti. (sp?) Once I made the switch, he was so infuriated and angry! He threw a royal tizzy fit last night. Hmmm, I think he's experienced how I feel now. :) Definite keeper. (After the first couple times there's no parade, just a calm "uh-oh" and time out. He still gets really mad, because he knows we aren't letting it upset us anymore. He's doing it a lot less! Yea! Now if I could just get him to stop all the other really dangerous stuff. One thing at a time, I guess.)
