This is so typical...

I'm having trouble with the blogger server. It won't upload my pictures for some reason. I've tried for 3 days now to make a new post but it won't upload the pictures. Anyway, I found this post that was in draft form that never was actually posted. This is from Lyla's preschool spring program right before Easter. Lyla did not want me to show these pictures at the time and that's why I didn't post them. But they're such a representation of life with Grace and Lyla that I decided she'll just have to forgive me one day when she sees these in the photo album.

So, this was after the program was over. Each student was given a little lollipop on a long flexible stick. It probably weighed about half of an ounce. Lyla was playing with her sucker. I was trying to get a nice after-program picture of the the girls together, but, she wasn't cooperating. She kept putting her sucker behind Grace's head, like bunny ears. Grace was trying to comply with my request but was getting annoyed at Lyla. She tried to move Lyla's hand from behind her head and somehow, the long, flimsy stick with a sucker on the end hit Lyla on the head with the sucker. Of course, by the cry you see in the picture you would think Lyla had been hit with a brick. Lyla is a tough kid. She doesn't cry when she gets hurt by something she has done to herself, like, falling off her bike. But she cries a lot when her feelings get hurt or she gets in trouble or someone makes her made. That's what these tears are really saying. She's mad at Grace.

This kind of situation happens every day with us. Do other moms deal with this every day too or is it just my kids???
