what you don't see.


Her tantrum because I won't let her investigate the port-a-potty while he sleeps in the sling.
Him crying hysterically as I try to search out a place to nurse.
The ladies wetting the front of my shirt while a field trip full of 5th grade boys look on in horror.
Her sitting down in middle of the parking lot, removing her froggy boots and demanding to be carried while I hold the following items: one 11 pound baby, one pumpkin, one diaper bag, a string cheese, one baby sling, one brown corduroy jacket size 2T.
Us successfully returning a few days later to try again (this time with more help).

I'm sure this wasn't funny while it was happening but I laughed out loud, esp. the part about the ladies wetting themselves in front of 5th grade boys:)

I know it is much funnier when it isn't your kid... but I couldn't help but feel your anxiety & helplessness, all the while laughing when Claire was sitting in the middle of the parking lot with boots off. You'll laugh someday too if you're not already:) We can always thank our kids for making us laugh and strengthening our character, can't we? L

L-
I can laugh about it a little bit now.

Thank you so much for helping get us out of there that day. I can't imagine what I would have done without the help of friends. Glad it was you that got to see my stellar parenting.

Yeah, you pretty much summed up my fears of having two little ones!! ;)
