Having little humans is a pretty rewarding job. From their
tiny little hugs and kisses, to their super crazy imagination. My little human
tells me all the time that I am his best friend and I can’t hope enough he
feels like this when he is 16 (Laughing.... Out..... Loud).
He also has some pretty
funny things to say about life and how HE views it. But there are moments in
that little human’s life where he tests my sanity.
Allow me to give you an example:
It’s a Monday morning and you’re up and ready for the day.
Your little human has gotten up and is in a fantastic mood. PARENT JACKPOT!!!
You get them fed, dressed, teeth brushed, and they are sitting every so sweetly
watching cartoons and eating their FIRST breakfast of the day.
You have graduated now to the car and your little human asks to
watch a show…. sure, why not, you have been GREAT this morning!!!! I am so excited for my day right now I can
barely contain it! I am ready to get this day……...STOP…… RIGHT……… THERE! π₯ππ¨
We interrupt this great morning for a little toddler
tantrum. Please sit back and enjoy the show!
I FORGOT MY SNACK!
Oh man that’s all? I
got you covered human! I got your snack right there! (FIST PUMPπͺπ). Nope not good
enough! That little 2-foot-tall human is now on the verge of a full-blown melt
down and ALL because he couldn’t WALK his snack out to the car!?
WHAT!???
Think fast mom, think fast. We need a distraction………….
Chocolate!π«π¬π«π¬
Ok little human, how about I give you a piece of chocolate
when you get home if you are super good the rest of the drive to daycare!
Please say yes, please say yes!!
OK MOMMY! But can you help me wipe my tears? ππ€―π₯°
HECK YEAH, I
CAN! ...............Nice play mom!
Not all tantrums work out this way but if we learn to take
life as it comes and take a breath, it may not seem so bad. Believe me, I get
frustrated, mad, and feel just down right defeated sometimes but I pick myself
back up and live to parent another day!
Signing off
for now
Duces✌
SMILE its
good for the soul π
