In-OX-picious beginning

Happy Chinese New Year, everybody!

Unfortunately for us, the Year of the Ox has gotten of to an inauspicious beginning. I lost count of how many timeouts Jack had today, but it was the most he's had in ages. Counted among his transgressions were shoving his friend off his little piano bench, dumping the cat food all over the floor and into the cats' water fountain, and biting his mother's foot...TWICE. His "nap" consisted of 30 minutes of restless sleep in the car, after which he woke up screaming. He is shrieking in the bathtub as I type.


About the only thing that went right today were these
paper lanterns that we made when some of Jack's little friends came over to play this morning:


Here's hoping that the first day of the new year isn't an omen for how the rest of it will go. Otherwise, I'm in for a long year.
