3.4.15

Dear Layla,

Reasons for you to pitch a fit today starting at 8:00 a.m.

I  tried to change your morning diaper..lets save space and make this EVERY time I changed your diaper today

I put you in child care while I tried to work out

I took you out of your carseat (weird)

I put you down to get your brother from the car

I tried to make breakfast...lunch...and dinner

I shut the door to go to the bathroom (I really just wanted a minute alone)

I had the audacity to try to eat  (by the time I got to eat it was cold and burnt but what's new)

I picked the eye goobers from your eyes

I gave brother a pacci first

I let brother sit on my lap while you were sitting on it

oh and about a million other reasons....

Reasons for mommy to throw a silent tantrum to herself....

All of the reasons listed above

I love you little girl but there are days that I almost love your bed time more.....almost.

Love you anyway,
Mommy

PS I should note that between all the fits....at one point you leaned over and gave your brother a kiss. You kill me

Dear Layla,

Let me tell you about some events from this morning. It is important to note that whatever ailment you and brother have has been given to me....so I am tired and sickly today without help.

7:45 You squeezed your fruit pouch out all over the place

8:45 You played with a yogurt cup and got yogurt all over your PJ's ...and the floor. Oh did I mention it was yogurt from yesterday....that you dug from the trash?

9:15 You made your way into the pantry and walked around with the raison container. It was upside-down.

11:30 You refused to nap...and kept brother from napping by throwing the contents of your crib onto him...and stealing his paccie.

1:00 You watched Sophia the first while laying with your head in my lap. We sang the twin song together...you looked up at me and sat up and kissed me. You even made the kiss noise. My heart nearly exploded.

It was a long day for mommy. You guys never napped. Your little kiss made it worth it.

Love,
Mommy
