Feed, Burp, Change, Start Over

It's been quite the role switch from career to mother. Of course, there are days when I want to just march right back into work and do what I know best...BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING THERE! There are many times that I'm clueless on what to do with a little one, but that's what makes it exciting and there's never a dull moment. Today, we're headed out into the wild world of shopping during business hours. I feel like I'm ditching work, but if you could see me wheeling a stroller into Target, you would be so proud. ;)

Happy shopping!

From the viewpoint of a 3 year old

"Why is Dad riding his motorcycle? Does he want to get some air?"
(Of special note) "When is Grandpa Gil coming back?"
"Mom, did you choose me? Did you pick me at the store?"
"I just want to be mellow. I loooove to be mellow."
"Mom, I'm going to miss you today."
"Is candy healfy?" aka: Is candy healthy?
"Mom, I wish you would take me to Seattle." *sigh*
"My eyes keep falling asleep and I don't want them to!"
"It's my lucky day, today, mom!"
"Dad, when you ski, don't bonk into the pokey trees!"
In the morning: "Mom, you are so cool." By the evening: "Mom, you are driving me crazy!"
"Mama, I really missed you today. I was SO sad."
"It's TOO HARD jumping in puddles!"
[Before going outside] "Hey, Mom! Are you going to get Zoe's blanket so she doesn't blow away?"

From the viewpoint of a 2 year old

"Mom, are you fragile?"
"When you be mean to me, my Dad is going to throw you in your room!"
"I have big hair and Dad has little hair."
"Just one more minute."
"Ok, I'm not going to cry at school."
"I want to move out!"
[The bait and switch] "Hey, mom! How about some milk for you and Zoe?"
"You're a witch! ... And I'm a princess." :)
[Mom] "Mia, you're going to be a big sister. Do you know what that is?" [Mia] "A big sister like Dora?"
"Mom, I'm so glad I found you."
[Mom] "Mia, please eat your ham." [Mia] "That's im-paus-ible."
"Daddy, I make you happy. You make me happy, too!"
