He Does Not Come in Peace

As I sit bed, nursing Gabriel and recovering from Zach's first real tantrum, I recall Johnny's joking analysis of our oldest child's head size, "I come in peace!" It may be funny, but this morning it was certainly not true. Zach literally screamed for 20 minutes straight. Not only did he scream, he kicked, struggled, and thrashed around so much that he smacked his head on a stair. Why? Because I forbade him to play with the TV remote, he got angry and hit his brother, got spanked for hitting his brother and the drama began.

I am exhausted. Thank God for naptime.

On a happier note, the boys had wonderful check-ups yesterday. Although healthy as a horse, poor little Zachy only weighs 20 lbs. That lands him in the 3rd percentile for weight, but he landed a strapping 74th percentile for head size.
Gabriel grew 2 1/2" coming out to 22 inches. What a man! He also weighs 9 lbs. 13 oz. He's growing like a weed.

That's all for now...gotta grab a quick shower while the rascals nap.
