No more daycare

We have decided to try no daycare. We have been paying for full time daycare but only using about 1-2 days a week. So with the help of Grandma Ann we are trying it with out. Brian and I luckily have flexible schedules so we have been flipping our shifts to work around each others. Ann watches Axel on the days in between my night shift, otherwise Brian and I are on duty. We have done it for two weeks already and it seems to be working out. Axel just loves going to Grandma Ann's house and we are so grateful that she can help us. Grandma's rock!

Axel has started to get a little sassy lately. I don't want to say terrible twos quite yet but maybe that's what it is. He is a very good boy but he has started to get upset when things don't always go his way and he LOVES to throw his food. I can only give him a little bit of food at a time and then still half of the time it ends up on the floor. We started to try the whole 'time out' thing, but it is still a work in progress. He is just really starting to understand things and some times can't get his point across, he loves to try to do things on his own (no matter how long it takes) and he doesn't like to hear the word 'NO'. It's amazing how much language he has been getting. I swear he learns new words or meaning every day. I can't believe that he is almost two! Where has the time gone?

As long as he's not bringing chicks home and asking for the car keys, you're probably safe for a few more years . . .
