Gone are the days...

...when I saw sweet, peaceful, chubby baby faces like this!

Now my days are filled with faces like this...

...and screeching sounds, the likes of which there are actually no words to describe

and tantrums galore, by both 2 and 6 years old alike

and softball = bloody nose

and a whole tube of blue toothpaste on my freshly cleaned carpets

and crayons on my table, couch and walls

and blue sharpie colored tongues and teeth

and garden hoses sprayed through open windows (with big brothers help and encouragement of course)

and brotherly "love"

and putting the same toys away 50 times a day

and hair gel on the floor

and an entire bottle of sunscreen used as lotion

and broken glasses in the sink - so helpful

(mind you most of these happen within mere seconds of my absence, he's only 2, but I know he strategically plans his moves!)

...and somehow watching this scoot past my window over and over and over again...

MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE!

Pardon the intrusion... I am friends with Tonia and am a total 'looky loo'. Your life sounds so paralell to mine! My 18 mo old has me running all day long! Endless fun/tasks for me to clean - why are they so freakin' fast? While we are getting slower by the minute...

Oh, what fun! Your adventures are a little more intense than mine at the moment, but I feel ya. And it is amazing how those sweet little moments make it all worth while.

Oh my...I sadly relate to so many of those things, but happily at the same time. It's crazy that they can do all of those nasty things and you still love them, huh. That was a very entertaining and much needed (for me to know someone else goes through it)post. Thank you!

A little ditty here...a litty ditty there...what ever we feel like sharing.
