I think that some Todder/Mommy Higher Power knows that moms and kids need good days to balance out the crappy ones. The last few days have been tough with Max teething and being fussy, aggressive, annoyed and tired. I wold feel the same way if my teeth were hurting me too. But sometimes I am not able to deal with these toddler issues. I guess I am normal. Sometimes I forget that until I write a post and other people make comments about feeling the same way. I am so lucky for the bloggy world.
We did not wake up till 8 am and it was so delightful. We were both so happy. We were both so rested. Max and I went downstairs and he drank his am bottle and I cleaned up the house. Then he watched TV and snacked on some Millet Rice cereal while I showered. No tears, no fussing, no negotiations..nothing. Just peace an quiet while my son watched Curious George.
Then we talked to two other moms and decided we would take our kids rail gutter bowling. It was so much fun. We headed off to the bowling lane and still Max was happy in his car seat..singing and watching the cars go by and snacking. We bowled for about 50 minutes and the kids had fun. We had fun and there were no tears just smiles. Then we headed to Whole Foods for some basics and still limited fussing which went away once I got Max watermelon.
We went to a friends house to say hello and use the bathroom and chat. Max played for a little. He was tired but Max was still a delight. I made his afternoon bottle, gave him his binky and we headed home. He feel asleep..I transfered him into his stroller and parked him in the laundry room. I ate. Said hello to my husband and took a few deep breaths. I cleaned out my car and cleaned the kitchen and still it was quiet.
I needed this day so bad. We needed this day so bad.
Thanks Toddler/Mommy Higher Power.
