In these moments we made guacamole (Nicholas' favorite), baked brownies (and although he is a mess, it was an accident and he was being a really good help) . . .

we played, we drew pictures, we read books, and we went on an adventure to the mall. And he is increasingly funny and imaginative, making playing with him very entertaining.
But unfortunately there have also been quite a few more challenging moments as well, when he spoiled our plan for a fun activity by refusing to listen. The line that has been going through my head this weekend has been, "When he was good he was very very good, but when he was bad he was horrid." Except Nicholas is never really horrid. I have seen waaaaaay worse. It just feels like it in contrast to the sweet boy we are used to.
But he is now 2 1/2 hours into a nap, so maybe he was just as exhausted as we were this weekend. I know this long nap of his made me feel better.
It's rough, but you will all get through it! :)
