My Life =Toddlers

My Life is completely run by my toddlers. I am totally at their mercy! I really do adore my kids and love my life but it wouldn't hurt if it was a little less 'toddlerie' . :o) I thought that parenting was about teaching your kids...I was wrong, its really about your kids teaching you how to be a good parent. I am learning lessons from them everyday and no matter how much I try it seems I can never really quite learn the lessons well enough because I keep stepping up on the same things!!! Someday when they are grown I hope they don't remember these sort of days when their mom is, well... crazy! :O)

Here is a window into my toddler world. To me toddlers are well defined as little people with too much brawn, too much brain and not enough commonsense. Today I came upon a great example of this. As we were driving home from the only place I shop at ( sadly that means Walmart) I was completely enthralled in the NPR discussion on gas prices - I had recently filled up our van for the first time, big $$$$$. While I zoned everything out I heard Bridger say "Uh, Oh!". Knowing how he says that at just about everything he deems out of place or order I totally ignored it. But then I noticed in my rear view mirror his little head bouncing up and out of view. I turned back and there he was jumping in his car seat! He had totally unbuckled his car seat by himself and was now jumping up and down in his seat. I was on the freeway and the next exit was our exit so I just had to try and tell him to sit in his seat while he laughed at his new found freedom. All I can say is that my son obviously has way to much brawn and brain and not enough commonsense!!! Lets hope he gains some more commonsense real fast. :O)
