Yes, we're alive

BUT tired and emotionally spent! This week has been trying to say the least, but we're hanging in there:) Pearson seems to be going through a harder time adjusting then we previously thought (i.e. whining, crying, tantrums, etc.), but I am keeping myself sane by letting Tyler handle some of the behavior his way (which really works with her) and repeating the mantra, "This is only a stage and there are better days ahead!"
Even if it's not true, we're marching ahead with full faith that it is. I'm also writing this down to remember it wasn't all roses and bliss, but that it's worth it! I promise to be on the ball more with my blog writing down things as they happen... Please forgive me if there is not always a cute picture. At this point I'm lucky to find the time to type this (thank you Yo Gaba Gaba...)
p.s. I wanted to write down that today marks the day when Pearson has fallen head over heels in love with Justin Bieber and is utterly and completely convinced that he is actually a girl, "like Taylor Swift, Mommy." As I discovered while watching this teen phenom on Oprah, there is no debate on the issue of JB's gender when it comes to Pea; He is a She in her world. As for what happens when you do try logic regarding this, please see the above description of her reactions lately...
