Two year olds

I think God was having a HA HA moment when he created 2 year olds. Yes, you guessed it - today was one of those days. I think most of today's frustrations were "post-pregnancy" hormonal crazies, but EVERYTHING my baby boy did today grated on my last nerve. From early morning, until he finally fell asleep in my arms around 1:00 this afternoon. Now, normally I'm one of those - put him bed to fall asleep Moms, but today was an exception to the rules. I'm not a super cuddly person, and neither is August, but today was a "we both need some lovies" day, and I'm super glad I got to hold him for a little bit before I went and laid him down in his bed.
Of course, one of the things that was so frustrating also was hysterical because while he took a HUGE drink of water from my cup that was sitting on the table, he proceeded to dance like a maniac to the music I was listening to and even though I was bugged, I couldn't help but laugh at him because he looked so funny with his cheeks all blown out like a blow fish and his buns swaying from side to side with his arms flailing. Of course, as I laughed, then HE laughed which made all the water come pouring out of his mouth all over the floor. Not as funny.....then of course the trick was to try and get him to get a dish towel and clean it up (of course this was all happening while I was feeding Grace who likes to scream if you don't finish feeding her on time like most 1 month olds.). At any rate, it was shortly after that that he decided he neede to "hold you" and fell asleep.
I'm convinced the God lets us have days like this to help us appreciate the good days we have and to be thankful for even the bad days because they are not even as bad as some people have them. And of course while I'm sitting here, blogging away, feeding Grace in between sentances, my lovely little girlfriend decided to have an explosion - all up the back of her clothes!! So stinking gross! So this particular paragraph comes AFTER I've given her a bath and changed her clothes. But I'm thankful that I was able to work off some of my madness in the garage on our eliptical - thank goodness for that!!! And I was also able to take a shower before the explosion hit! Of course, my hair is still wet and I don't have makeup on - but remember, we're being thankful for small blessings right??

So this is my random blog of the week because I keep thinking of different things to say. I won't bore you with the details however, and will sign off of this post with a ta-ta and see you all on my next post which I promise will have a happier note to it!
