- My baby went to bed in a swim diaper last night. I was in the middle of washing the cloth diapers and realized that I was out of the disposables I keep on hand for moments such as these. You can imagine what I woke up to, right? I may as well have put the child to bed nekkid. You can give me that mother of the year award any time y’all.
- Nothing makes you feel more like a mom than facebook broadcasting to your entire friends list that you are currently listening to “Veggie Tales : The Belly Button Song” on Spotify.
- Personally I feel closest to the Lord when I hear Bob The Tomato singing “strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.” No I don’t. But I think Scarlette does because she started doing “Praise Jesus” hands (also known as “Raise The Roof hands”) all by herself when it comes on.
- I bought those shoes for Scarlette because A) they were on sale B) I figured she couldn’t get them off because of the buckles and C) she grabbed them off the shelf and squealed delightedly over them and it was really cute. Also: I am a sucker. I took her to the grocery store and when I went to get her out of the seat she was happily holding one of them in her hand. I came home and mentioned to Jeff that I had no idea HOW she managed to get them off. That is when he looked at me shamefaced and told me that when he dressed her that morning, he hadn’t buckled them as tightly as I do because it made him feel bad. WRAPPED AROUND HER DADDY’S FINGER.
- I have a love/hate relationship with graham crackers. On one hand, Scarlette has decided to eat them and thus, I love them because it’s something that she will put in her mouth. On the other hand, why do those things NOT break along the perforation lines? I constantly find myself trying to break a cracker in two and ending up with a handful of crumbled cracker and a string of of pseudo curse words leaving my mouth. I mean, they are MEANT to be broken apart so they should easily break apart, am I right? Answer: I am right.
- Scarlette is getting her molars in which means she’s all “SLEEP? WHAT IS SLEEP?! I HATE SLEEPING!” and so I am really tired. I got ready for bed yesterday and realized that I spent the entire day with not one but two articles of clothing on inside out. Yesterday was errand-running day. My spiritual gift is making other moms feel better about themselves.
(The blocks she has are the Really Wooly Blessing Baby Blocks c/o Dayspring. They spell out words like “Joy” and ‘Hope” and have bible scenes on them. She enjoys throwing them off the porch, along with her shoe. Also, I’m being facetious in this post. I actually think I’m a pretty awesome mom, in you know, a totally humble way.)
