Funny Moment

Benjamin fell in the toilet today. He forgot to put the smaller portion of the toilet seat down so when he went to do his business, he got a wet surprise. After helping him out and drying his little bottom off, I began to laugh and luckily he saw the humor in the situation as well. Many children would've cried from alarm, but not Ben. Instead he giggled and said, "That was really funny, Mom!"

Then something occurred to him. His eyes got wide and he said, "If I fall in again and somebody flushes, I would go all the way down!" I couldn't help myself. I burst out laughing and assured him that there was no way he could ever "go all the way down." I might've worried that my laughter would trivialize his fear, except he began cracking up as well. I just love that Benjamin is so easy going and has a great sense of humor, one of the many great things he inherited from his father.

Goodbye June, Hello July!

We made it. We survived the month of June. This past month was totally insane. Every weekend was filled with birthday parties, graduation ceremonies and celebrations, class reunions, and baby showers. The weekdays were spent preparing for all those events and sometimes even more parties or family dinners were held on the week nights. Of course we wanted to add to the chaos, so we threw in a camping trip up to Hume for a week as well, coming home the night before I hosted a large baby shower and family birthday dinner for Ray & Laura and their boys. Finally, to cap off the month, I attended a week-long Montessori class in SLO, requiring me to find childcare every day and get myself and both boys up and out of the house by 8 each morningYep, total madness. Oh, and did I mention that we decided to redo the front planters and while we were at it, go ahead and finally put some plants in along our driveway? Of course, I wanted it done before the party, so by the time I got my act t...

It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This

Has it really been almost a year since I've wrote on this blog? I know that I posted my farewell to the Atascadero Fire Department back in March, but the last post before that occurred all the way back to last summer...yikes! So this is how blogs just fade away... Life is busy. Between all the duties that come along with being a wife and a mom, as well as my responsibilities outside of the home, I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. And truth be told, being a mother these days has not been fun, so I really haven't wanted to write about it.  Benjamin is hard. Really hard. As in, I usually cry at least a few times a week, if not daily, from sheer frustration with him. You've heard of the term "strong willed child?" Ben could be the poster child for that book. The two of us are so much alike. We both fight for control and power and we do it poorly, in the form of threats, screams, and hands thrown up in exasperation. On one particular night, the defian...
