Some days, parenting leaves you looking like you could be the new poster child for abstinence, finding snot on your shoulder from who knows when and craving a shower after cleaning up a diaper blowout at the dining room table, one that has you gagging the entire time. But the beautiful teeter-tottter, the thing that always brings it full circle, is after the showers and baths, after the seat's been sanitized and wiped down a trillion times over and you're left looking not at the rag-a-muffin in the mirror but at the amazing soul you're holding in your arms, and the slate went and cleaned itself.
Today my littlest and I had a little Us Time, and I stayed on the top of that teeter, breathing in the refreshing air of being high on life. Clean slate I tell you, clean slate.
cute photo. I love us time.
ReplyDeleteah yes... the teeter totter always does it...God must have planned that teetering walking for exactly when their poop is the most awful...
ReplyDeleteOn a side note...for the worst mom ever files...I always dress my kids to look the cutest when they are driving me the craziest...and I look at pictures of them at their cutest when in person they are somehow dirty 24-7...for some reason the cuteness really does take the sting out of all the dirt...
Beautiful. I'm glad you had us time together. I had that also with one of my sons over the weekend and it still has me beaming. Those moments one-on-one are priceless.
