Life as a mom has so many ups and downs.
How amazing is it to hold your 12-week-old and see the amazement in his blue eyes as he stares back at you? The connection I feel is so strong and overwhelming. I feel like I'll remember that moment in time forever...
Then I'm squirted with a watergun.
My three-year-old has just shot me back into the real world. I look up from my baby's gaze to realize that my toddler has just sprayed the bathroom walls, mirror, toilet and floor with his watergun from the bathtub. I have to scold him (I've warned him not to shoot it outside of the tub before, haven't I?), but inside I'm cracking up.
Cracking up. And thinking this is the first time in a long while that the bathroom floor, toilet, walls and mirror have all been cleaned in the same day.
Thanks, Alex. Thanks for helping momma do some cleaning... and smiling.
