Boy! I totally knew it this time, for sure. It's just been so much easier making this kid than it was making Cece. I knew something had to be different this time around. Hum...are boys really easier afterall...guess we'll find out!
Two easy pregnancies, two not easy boys here. They have their different reasons to cause stress and anxiety too. Bradford is drama central. You'd think he was a 13 year old girl for how dramatic and sensitive he is- and how quickly his moods change. He's also got major anger management issues. He was easy for a year and a half- then the terrible twos came and have yet to leave (it's been a long 3 years!) . Warren, on the other hand, has always been a crappy sleeper and never met something he couldn't climb. He's super fast and nimble and can easily vanish in the blink of an eye- then thinks it's funny to secretly watch you panic over not being able to find him.
They both need constant supervision. If I leave them alone for a second, Warren will be attempting to dangle from a ceiling fan or climbing a bookshelf... And Bradford will be purposefully breaking my things because I told him he couldn't have a snack 10 minutes before dinner.
I think people who have a daughter for an oldest child have better experiences with little boys because little girls tend to be more obedient and less destructive and second children usually follow the older sibling's lead. So maybe you'll get an awesomely easy little boy!
I'm sure you have your hands full but at least you have the right attitude. I die laughing every time I see a blog post or instagram with one of your boys getting into mischief. Bradford has had some good moments with makeup, art supplies, etc. Hang in there, mama. =)

I know everyone is different but my pregnancy with Logan was a breeze, and he is an easy kid now, so maybe it is true. Love Cece's photo! :)
