Hamilton Happenings

Last week I was having some bad moments with the kids.  You know how it goes.  Some days I feel like I put out fire after fire.  On one particular day it felt like Isaac's job was to pull everything out of the cabinets, climb everything in sight, and hit Mckenzie.  At one point in the day I was feeling over overwhelmed and honestly just plain pissed off.  While muttering negative things under my breath and picking something off the floor I turned around to find Isaac sitting in Jett's water bowl.  Just sitting contently in a bowl of water.  I had to changed his pants and diaper.  Oh, and Isaac was so proud and happy to be sitting in water.  I love you so much Isaac!
