Today has been one of those days!
We started off the morning with a very naughty toddler who not only colored on the TV, but dumped baby powder all over her bedroom floor, emptied EVERY book off her bookshelf, took off her diaper and peed on the carpet (she said she was a dog), and then finished off with a 30 min tantrum because I wouldn't let her drink the ketchup, yes ketchup.
We then decided that maybe we just needed to get out of the house and away from the temptation to destroy everything she touched.
She only ran away from me 3 times in Target, (totally get why people leash their wild children, I'm SO close to buying one) before I decided popcorn might help a busy toddler sit still in the cart. It did, but we may or may not have left a trial of popcorn through the whole store. I'm over it
She just went down for a early nap, because let's face it, we both need it. I was flipping through my phone trying to remind myself why I do this...and why I'm starting all over again with another one.
And then I remembered
It's for sweet moments like this...
And this...
When she says "Mommy I hold you!" or "sing the baby song and rock a Addie"
It's for those moments, though sometimes they may seem few and far between, that I know she really does love me and need me. And her wild, spirited toddler ways are not meant solely to drive me crazy!
So I'm just going to pretend this morning didn't happen and be happy with my sweet, spirited little toddler, my life as her Mommy, and the future life with another one soon.
