Boys.

Today I began a new season. Life has been so chaotic that I just rolled right into this with little emotion. Being woken up every hour from midnight with Max screaming and walking out the door at 7:45am did make having an emotion nearly impossible.

I'm a chronic morning person so really it wasn't too bad. Sam is sick (has been all weekend poor guy), Max finally fell asleep on the couch at 6:45 and I had to wake him to go at 7:45 (never does he sleep that late!!) but I still was chipper. It's 10:16pm and I'm awake. Miracle. (confession: I had two Starbucks today. Don't judge me.)

I just sat down and ate dinner and perused a few websites. As I try to unwind, which typically takes 5 minutes but took an hour tonight, I am excited about not freaking out, going with the flow, and just enjoying the moment. This has not really characterized my life typically. Today was fun, chaotic, tiring, exciting, challenging and weird. These boys are all go and very adventurous. Max barely kept up with them today, but he did. He learned a new sign today: "I forgive you." Ha! The boys will be saying I'm sorry a lot I think over this new season. Liam and Ari talk incredibly well and climb like I have never seen boys this age climb. Max is going to learn a lot I think.

They are sweet boys and Max & I are pretty excited about our new days.
