I have been putting off this blog all week wanting it to be perfect...but it won't be. But here I go anyways...
Most days, most of the time, I LOVE being a mom and being able to stay home with Aaron. As every parent knows, especially stay at home moms, there are some times where you just can't believe what falls into your job description. On Monday Mom and Dad came up to see Aaron and Mom went with me to the doctor (more on that later). Luckily Aaron took a nice long nap with dad babysitting. He always (almost always) naps really good when grandparents are around. Back to the point...Between the time that mom and dad left and Caleb got home from work the following events happened. This was all in about an hour or so. First, we start with a routine diaper change on the floor. Aaron jumps up in the middle and runs free. So, he goes around the corner and I starting hearing "uh oh". Not a good sign when your toddler is diaper free. Yes, he peed (sp?) on the carpet and tries to wipe it up with his bare hands. Gross. I proceed to capture Aaron, get him diapered, hands washed and carpet cleaned right before getting ready for dinner. Then dinner time happens. Aaron was eating some applesauce for dinner insisting on feeding himself with a spoon. He normally does real well to start off with. So, I was doing other stuff downstairs peaking in on him and then I hear him say "no no". He often tells on himself when he does/is doing something he knows better than. I come in and see applesauce EVERYWHERE. He not only was using his hands to throw it from his high chair he was filling his spoon up and shaking it. Lucky mommy gets to clean applesauce up from everywhere within a 3-4 ft radius of his highchair. Only after he got a good spanking. With applesauce all over him, we go straight up for a bath. Aaron still loves baths and got a nice long bath where he got to play for longer than usual. I didn't think he could do too much damage in the tub, just splash some water, right?? WRONG. After getting him a cleaned up he stands up and shakes. I proceed to ask it he is cold and ready to get out. As soon as the words come out of my mouth I hear something go "plop". As Aaron proceeds to poop in the tub. Yes, you are reading correctly, and unfortunately this isn't the first time. I yank him out and sit him on the potty, but of course, he is done and its all in the tub. So I proceed to clean Aaron up AGAIN and did all I knew to do to save the rest of the day...put him to bed early. This pregnant, hungry, tired mom had about all she could take. Any one of the above events can easily get to you, but all three in about an hour was too much for me. OH, the joys of motherhood!!!
