Today was just one of those days.......
You know. One of those days that just seem to go on
forever. One of those days when you look at the clock only to realize just 5 minutes has passed. Don't get me wrong. I love to spend time with my babies, but I am thinking this morning they got together when I wasn't looking and decided to team up against me. Hampton is going through another growth spurt (I think his whole 3 months has just been one huge growth spurt) and is teething something fierce. This combination made for one unhappy baby today.
And Everett, well I don't think his "listening ears" were working at all today. It could be for the fact that I often caught him plugging his ears several times when I was instructing him to do something. That or he just played dumb. Eric and I often wonder if he understands what we are saying to him as we give him a specific instruction. He is a pro at the blank stare. I have come to realize he understands way more than we think. He had us going for awhile, but we are on to his little game. Ha!
But at the end of the day today, as we were eating our barbeque chicken and enjoying a cool breeze as we dined outside, I felt content. Sure this mama had a tough day. But as I kissed the barbeque sauce off my toddler's face and admired the blue PlayDoh underneath his fingernails, I remembered how I wouldn't have it any other way.
