Oh Parenting….

Parenting makes you weird….at least I think it has made us weird in many ways. Here are a few excerpts from my day to prove it:

……….

This afternoon as I sat and ate my lunch I wondered to myself: “Why do I smell spit up everywhere I go? It’s stuck in my nose!”

(a few seconds later)

“Oh…there is spit up on my shirt. Oh well.” (I’m still wearing said shirt)

………..

Me: “Elias, hold still! I’m trying to help you get a booger out!”

………..

Me: “Elias, what do you want for lunch.”

Elias: “Uhhhhh…….goldfish and apples and………buffalo!”

Me: “Buffalo? Well, we don’t have any so what else do you want?”

Elias: “I want goldfish and apples and buffalo.”

Me: “Well we dont’ have buffalo so if you don’t tell me what you want I’ll choose something for you.”

Elias: “I’ll have…….. a grilled cheese.”

…………..

Elias: “Daddy get it out!”

Daddy: “It’s just toe lint. It won’t hurt anything…………….ok I’m getting it.”

Then there’s wearing stuffed animals on your head to entertain your infant:

But parenting isn’t all weird. Sometimes it’s wonderful too. Here are some other excerpts from today:

“I love you Mommy.”

” Mommy thank you so much!”

“I want to watch Charlie Brown and snuggle with Mommy”

……………

Oh Parenting……no matter what, I love my boys!
