Yes, I said it! Parenthood is filled with crappy moments, and by crap I mean "poop." I NEVER post more then once in a day/week; however I didn't want to forget this one! I was cleaning the kitchen after lunch today and James came up to me complaining of something being stuck to his fingers. I took out a wet paper towel and started wiping, but was almost knocked out by the stench.
Turns out James decided to take it upon himself to inspect his diaper, and the sweet surprise that was left inside for Mom! So, GROSS! Time to hop back on the potty training bandwagon!
Parenthood is not for the faint of heart........or smell for that matter.

Birthdays, and Lenten Resolutions
So life has been nothing short of insane, which is really nothing out of the "norm" for us. Frankly, I think I prefer it this way. I am afraid I would be bored if we didn't have so much going on, because it has become a way of life (this is why vacations are NECESSARY)! Last week I completed a business trip to Chicago, did an entire scrub down of the house (not just light dusting, but Spring cleaning and organizing style), threw together a birthday party for James, attended my sister's surprise 24th party, and attended a baby shower.
Here are some fun party pics:
James only had a few minor melt-downs, which of course left me wondering why I made the decision to give up alcohol for lent. Seriously, what was I thinking? I know I wasn't thinking when I picked the date of the party, daylight savings kicked in the following morning. Resulting in an over-tired, and over-stimulated 2 year old boy. Oh, the tantrums to be had! Luckily, I was out the door and off a baby shower. Leaving Dad to tend to the crabbiness!
I can hardly believe James is two years old. When I look back to the years prior to his existence, I realize that there was not a lot in life that gave me a true sense of purpose. Looking at those big brown eyes every morning, makes me strive to be the best person I am capable of being. I know he was the one that was showered with gifts this past weekend, but I feel that I was the true recipient of the best gift two years ago. When my stubborn child decided to arrive the day before I was scheduled to be induced. I instantly fell in love with all 9 lbs. 6 oz. of my baby boy, and I quickly forgave him for being built like a linebacker!
Remember one thing ALWAYS......Mommy Loves You! You are my greatest accomplishment in life (well I guess that is two things)!
