Actual toddler madness
So if you ever decide "let's try to have a baby" try to remember that they don't just stay as babies... when you sign up to be a parent you are there for all the stages: the cute, cuddly, ugly, messy, loving, grossness, and just plain crazy. I always knew I wanted to be a mom. All I ever wanted in life was to have two beautiful babies and stay home with them. I couldn't be more thankful that the Lord and my husband have given me that gift to live my dream with these beautiful little beings everyday. But I can't help but wonder if teenagers saw raw parenting.. if I could just document a day like today so they could see how difficult it really was if there would be less teen pregnancies and abortions just out of pure fear.. with that said let me explain my day that would cause this fear.. ever know how it feels to not pee for hours and hours? I do... our sink and the tooth brush drawer is right next to the bathroom door.. and my son, (who is obsessed with brushing his teeth) decided to grab his tooth brush and leave the bathroom. Closing the tooth brush drawer just enough that the door would close but somehow leaving it open just enough that the bathroom door would not open... so I had the pleasure of working with it for over 30 min.. then finally giving up and waiting UNTIL MY HUSBAND GOT OFF WORK when he could finally fix it with a metal hanger.. now I know you most be thinking "ya that sucks but not too bad" well that my friend is just the beginning of the day. The best is yet to come. So us parents being sneaky and resourceful like we are, have to come up with distracting games or ideas so our toddlers will play alone while we can finally get something done! So I had the glorious idea of opening my sons toy chest to keep him busy in his room while I sweep and mop the house. So I go check on him, he's sitting on the floor playing with his dinosaurs like an angel. I immediately rush off to the dining room to start sweeping the food covered floor from lunch... we have a relatively small dining room so it took probably all of 2 minutes... I go to check on my son and he's gone.. not in his room... not in his sisters room.. I suddenly notice the bathroom door standing open... I found my son standing elbows deep playing in toilet water.... which he so graciously also filled with toilet paper to... yes it's moments like these I think no one really realizes what they are getting into when they are in the hospital and handed that little white, blue and pink blanket filled with a still innocent tiny angel.. and again this happened in just TWO MINUTES. So after washing his hands probably 5 times and germ x on top of it while he screamed the whole time.. oh the joys of parenting... sometimes I just want to stop and call my parents to apologize for doing this to them at one point.. yup I definitely think stuff like this is what should be shown in sex Ed rather than explaining other useless information like how to put condoms on bananas like teenagers somehow don't understand where the thing is supposed to go.. But anyways, even though there are no instructions for how to raise kids and no one ever realizes what they are getting into until they are washing the toilet water off their toddlers hands.. it is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. As my son is laying on my lap asleep, cuddling my leg while watching cars for the 507th time. I couldn't be more thankful for this crazy adventurous and MESSY boy I have been given. And also extremely thankful his little sister cannot walk or crawl yet....
