Is it the weather?

I had relatives visit over the weekend with toys for my two kids! So first thing this morning all 6 kids are happily playing with the new toys!! We went outside and my brother offered to come help me take them all for a walk around the neighbourhood. We had 3 of them in sleds so I couldn't have done this by myself. My Monday is going pretty good actually!
However!! My 3.5 year old son is for sure going thru a horrible stage!! He has started whining. Like unimaginable, ear-peircing whining. Grrrr I hate it soooo much!! He has even become quite the cry baby. He used to be a really tough kid but now he can burst into tears at the drop of a hat. Also he is using baby-talk. Out of no where, he would say "abababAHHHHH gabbbyickky!!!" like super loud, or some sort of jibberish. Just to get my attention I'm sure. I feel like I am constantly yelling at him and my voice is getting sore!! Hahah how much longer till he moves out!? 15? 16 more years?? Lol

Been there! I think we are probably all needing a holiday (seems like a very long stretch from summer vacation) and the added stress of the new ratio rules etc is probably not helping matters.

2 weeks a go was really hard for me. Last week was better (only because I had only 1 or 2 extra kids depending on day) but today I am starting to feel it again. I have one little girl (20 mos) that has been driving me crazy. She copies everything my 22 mos old does but only after I've redirected my daughter does she do it. Looking for the attention my daughter just got I guess.
