These two. Today they each wanted to go a different way (E to the train station and H to the "Trippy house") and were yelling to get their way. I stood at the crossroads and said, "You guys need to work it out." They kept yelling for a while, and then H said, "What if we go this way for a bit and then we go your way?" E looked back and forth and then said, "OK!" and took off running in H's direction. We never got to go his way, but he didn't seem to mind. The rest of the evening was pretty much a disaster, but I'm gonna remember that moment. #ducttapeparenting #littlemonster

Tonight my 2 1/4 year old turned to me at dinner and said, "how was your day, mommy?" #weredoingsomethingright #littleman #gonnamakeagreatpartnersomeday

My baby's favorite food: ketchup. By the forkful, on his fingers, straight from the bottle if we'd let him.

The good news: My son fell IN LOVE with a tiny plastic ball he got from the dentist today. (Also good news, but less immediately relevant: no cavities.) The bad news: He absolutely cannot be parted with it. EVER. Going on 1 hour of screaming from his crib because mean mommy wouldn't let him take a choking hazard to bed. #dentalhealth #justgotheefftosleep #thestruggleisreal

Sometimes having two kids feels like being pulled east by a freight train while an eighteen wheeler insists that you head west. And sometimes it feels like a big warm bowl of kittens. #littlemonster

I wish I had a photo of the us in the pool, but I had my hands full with both kids--E's first time swimming. He was skeptical at first but soon was splashing up a storm with his big sis! Then H got mad at me because I wouldn't let her put on her boots right before this picture. Win some, lose some. #peacefulmama #littlemonster

First day at work

Upon arriving to pick up the kids from school, I found E's spare binky in the parking lot, smashed to bits. It must have fallen when we unloaded this morning. I was afraid it was a bad omen, but when I got to his class he was so busy playing that he couldn't be bothered to look up. When he finally did, he briefly looked confused then gave a great big smile to his teacher Miss Rachel and barely noticed me! The teachers reported that he had a rough morning but perked up after eating and even took a short nap. He passed out in the car on the way home and is probably out for the night already. An amazing reception at work from my new manager Lisa Owen made my first day back so much easier. #independentkids #oneluckymama #twomoredaystillbreak
