Snakes and Snails, and Puppy Dog tails.

Kids learn from us, but we definitely learn from our kids too.

In the past 24 hours, Pierce has taught me that Vick's needs to put a child proof lid on their Vapo-rub, and ANY body part is fair game with a purple marker in your hand.

Little Boys are all kinds of fun.

It's not a teddy bear, but it'll do.

Some people struggle to get their kids to give up the bottle at bedtime. That would be too normal for Pierce. I'm trying to wean him from wearing hockey gloves and carrying a puck and stick to bed.
It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't wake up with the stitching indented into his face.

Odd ducks, these kids of mine.

Fatter by the minute

Elastic waistbands are a dangerous thing this time of year.

Halfway!

Got to see the baby bean today! Another big baby with a massive head. Fantastic.

All looked good though. A healthy baby, measuring about 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

I get it. I'm pregnant.

When you say, " Whoa! Do they know what's causing that?!".

I want to punch you in the face.

Its my third, don't talk to me like I'm a Duggar.

Patience

Liv handed me an envelope to open today. Inside it was a piece of paper with half a pack of gliitter and a lot of scribbling.
Me-"Thanks Liv, this is quite the creation! I love it. "
Liv- "Mom, that is NOT a creation. Its patience. I made it for you because you keep losing yours".

Mommy Fail. I most definately know what a bag of crap feels like now.

You can't teach this kind of empathy.

I often wonder what Liv is thinking about when she's quiet. Tonight, I got some insight.
While sitting quietly coloring she says. "I feel bad for people sometimes. "
Me: "That's called empathy Liv. That's good, it means you care. Who is it you feel bad for?"
Liv- "Well it's not actually a person. I feel bad for animals when we eat them, and your vagina when you push that baby out".

Not sure how the two tie together, but I appreciate the concern.
