Tears...

So we all have days where we wish that crying were an answer to life's greatest challenge (aka motherhood). Seriously, from a kids perspective, if I could cry and get someone to do something about it, I would. Especially for me because I am not a crier. I had heard the 45th whine call of the day, and this was at breakfast before I called it quits! I've had it! I called on the heavens to just give me some good old-fashioned tears.......I would just feel so much better. And then Bella says the prayer which goes something like this. "And daddy can be mean sometimes but it's ok, bless mommy to be nice..." etc. etc. etc. Now if guilt had anyplace in my world this may have worked. But what did work is that I did cry, it's just that I was laughing so hard at the insanity of it all. Tears of a different color.
Own it!
I love his "hehehe" laugh. Is it phsychologicaly sound to have a courtesy laugh at 2?

Cute as a button.

Why do Daddys get away with being mean sometimes but Mommys are just mean all the time?

That is so funny about the prayers. Ryan and I teach the Sunbeams and we always look forward to the interesting prayers.
P.S. Harrison is cuter than a button!
