You Do What it Takes For This

NOTHING in the world wakes you up from a dead sleep and makes your heart skip a beat faster than hearing a small scared voice say, "Mommy, I need you!" in the middle of the night. And in order to be a good, kind mommy I think God has to instill certain characteristics such as the ability to hold your stomach while a) cleaning up puke b) holding your child over the toilet as he pukes and c) being able to sleep with one eye open as you lay next to the pukee waiting to thrust the trash basket under his chin the minute he sits up to puke again. I am ever so grateful that Owen has a full sized bed because I don't know where else I would've slept the last two nights with him. He has been so sick and so groggy from being up all night for two stinking nights in a row. And I am so sick and tired of washing his sheets and cleaning up puke off the floor! But in the end I am still so in love with my little Bubba. He is a trooper, even asking me nicely if he could have some "Scooby snacks for bedtime" because he was finally hungry. I hope tonight he sleeps a restful sleep with no more puking.

Joey, on the other hand, is feeling just fine and has decided to really start hamming it up to the camera! Check out some of these poses he lends:

Look at me and big boy that gets his own chair at the table and gets to eat!


Do I have you wrapped around my finger yet?!

Look at my snaggle-tooth grin! I'm growing some good chompers!

Shhhh, be quiet, can't you see I'm trying to concentrate?

Being a mommy really means that you do whatever it takes to make your babies smile, giggle, laugh, love, and be happy.
