Happy Grand Parents Day! You want the kids mom? ...Dad? No? ...damn.
[looks around the couch]
"Where's that Velcro wallpaper I ordered??"
"Roan! SIT DOWN!"
"No!! Don't touch that!!"
"You're going to wake your brother!"
(OMG I'm going insane...)
"ROAN STOP THAT!"
[muttering]
"wheres that damn bodysuit?"
[looking up]
OH Hai!... Aheh... didn't see you there, no really, I..erm. Never mind. SO, first post and all, I thought I'd just jump right in with a "Hai-dee Ho-oooooooo!!....[cough]...heh" Life with a toddler is definitely interesting, has it's UPS and DOWNS...
(OIY Not poop on the couch!...AGAIN...arg.)
The cute little cheeks, the adorable things they say.. and do. [whimper]
So how many of you are moms that know what I am talking about? I also have a 5 month old, he's a cutie, except when he's screaming at me, not taking the boob for dinner, not taking a bink, (that's pacifier for all you non-parents) not happy no matter how you hold him, or where you lay him down, no swing, no bouncer, no Bumbo (it's a baby seat)...
[shuffling toddler feet]
"MAMA!!"
Heh, excuse me a minute... "Yes dear?"
"I wan do eee"
"...are you hungry?"
(Eee = eat)
"YYYEEEAAA"
"What would you like to eat?"
"Doe Peh"
"What?"
"DOE Peh"
"WHAT is Doe Peh?"
[todder getting frustrated at mommy's lack of Roaneze]
"DOE PEH DOE PEH!!"
[heavy sigh]
"Okay.. okay, show me"
[gets dragged to the kitchen with earnest 3 year old fingers pointing to the top of the fridge]
"DOE PEH!"
[oh SNAP!]
"GOLD FISHHH!!!"
[facepalm]
"here you go sweet heart"
Yea, that's what it's like. Juuuussst like that. It's those tender moments that I cherish with my childre...
"MAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAA!"
[holding out his little thumb]
"Owieee!! I nee a dan dai!!"
[another sigh]
"Show me your finger honey"
"Seeee I nee dan dai!"
"No honey, there's no blood, you're ok..."
[toddler running into the bathroom, dragging his step stool to the counter...then admires himself in the mirror...ooh toothpaste]
"ROAN No! Don't EAT the toothpaste! I thought you needed a band aid!"
"Ohh! Rai!"
Argh.
[get up to get him the band aid, stopped by a toothbrush in my face]
"Mama I bruh teee!"
"Let me help you dear"
"Aw-wai"
[scrubbing little teeth with his Thomas toothbrush...giggles...more scrubbing]
"There you go"
"Hank hew Mama"
[scurries back to the living room to watch Wubbzy]
There you have it.
(F.Y.I. Wubbzy = nightmarish whiny voice that will eventually make you despise it as much as Barney)
It's the little joys...and the toys... (OUCH) just don't step on one of the tiny ones in bare feet. Yea.
Do they have super toy vacuums that suck the scattered tidbits back into the toy box?
No?
They should.
"Roan why is there a coat hanger in your mouth?"
[ptooey] "Oh... heh heh Rai!"
Now, where was I? Oh RIGHT... As a mom, I have found those quiet moments in my busy day to reflect on just how lucky I am...
[sound of little feet shuffling in the kitchen, fridge door opens and shuts]
"Mama! Chee?" [holding zip bag of cheese block]
...
...
...
[sliced cheese now in his hands]
I don't think I need to explain this blogs title, do I? Picture it with me, velcro wallpaper, attachable bodysuit, with or without removable sleeves and legs in sizes 2T-7 (cuz you know it doesn't stop @ 5T) We should market this? No? Too many lawsuit premises there? yea... ok then. So, keep reading, please, enjoy, commen...
[wailing scream from the baby swing]
Whoopsie got to go! anyhow, follow along and we can enjoy this crazy journey together. Rai? [clearing throat] I mean.. Right?
Happy Grand Parents Day!
