Am I Going Mad or Am I Just a Mommy?

Words of Wisdom from a Four Year Old

RJ-  Mommy!  I know the difference between boys and girls!

Me-  (Note to self:  I'm sooo not ready to have this conversation!) What's that, love? (Gulp!)

RJ (grinning proudly) -  Boys have round heads and girls have square heads.

Me-  Giant sigh of relief

In other news- long time no post.  It's nice to be missed!  I really have to be better at time management....or find a bit of free time to myself. (Does anyone else have a four year old who demands attention every waking hour of the day?  I thought it was supposed to get better as they got older!)

Genetics 101

I guess it's official....

Baby C takes after her Daddy. Toys, shmoys!  Give me my Wall St. Journal! How did Baby Food Futures perform today?

How come I get the kid who likes to stick foreign objects into his bodily orifices?

  

Cough, Snort, Sniffle, Whine

Okay, I've tried not to complain, but now I'm finally saying it: we are a sick and tired lot here at Six Flags! We have been like this all week, RJ, Baby C, SuperDad and yours truly.  Luckily for him, SuperDad only felt less-than-Super for 2 days and seems to be over the worst. The rest of us with no immune systems are not faring as well.   RJ is coughing his head off, poor Baby C is wondering why I keep trying to suck her brains out, and I sound like Selma from The Simpsons.  Only the Pee Monster (who takes great pleasure from sitting on my head and waking me up at night,) has been spared.

To make matters worse, Baby C is still teething with no end in sight.  She has decided to resume her 3 am feedings, and when she is not eating, she is crying.  We've tried everything we can think of to alleviate her discomfort and get more sleep for ourselves.  What we need now is a Radical New Approach, and preferably one that doesn't involve a "Free to Good Home" newspaper ad or duct tape. I love Baby C to bits, but right now I don't like her very much.   It hurts me to say that. This too shall pass.
