After two months of getting settled, I can now go back and pat myself on the back for surviving that nightmare: a 3 yr old with a broken leg, a 1 yr old with a kidney infection, a husband living in another city, selling and packing the house to doing it all again in a new city and province. The best part now? The kids LOVE it here, LOVE the house and are relatively HAPPY now that they realize that we are getting into a routine again. Chin up - you are almost there!! As for the terrible 3's, I find that wine helps with the frustration and guilt. :) Oh Beth, having just gone through the whole upheaval of moving myself, I can completely relate to this post.

And I'm sorry that you got hurt and I hope you heal quickly and easily. I'd also like to tell you that 4 and 5 is easier. But then I'd be lying. BUT I will tell you that you are great mom and you'll handle 4 and 5 (and all the other difficult stages) just as well as you've been handling 2 and 3. And you'll have enough of those validating moments that you'll continue to know that you are doing SOMETHING right. Those are what gets me through the day. ~~lots of love~~ {{{hugs}}}

I remember when I fell on the stairs in my new house. Holding a baby, luckly she just got a little bonk on the head and yes I got the huge bruise on my arse. I hate it when every little thing sets them off. So glad to hear you both felt better the next morning. Sleep does help! Ouch! I remember when I fell on the stairs in my new house.

But I think three year old tantrums lead directly to four year old independence. I hope you get a good night sleep to re-energize...sounds like you could use it. Oh yeah, three is tough.

So, ENJOY those! You're so lucky when you get them. Beautiful writing, by the way, as usual. Three sucks! (And wooden stairs. I know how that feels.)
