I have beautiful children.
Everyone says that right?
We hear every single mother say this (well...the good ones anyway). "I have 2 BEAUTIFUL children". You can change the number amount, but it's true, we all do it.
Our children are ALL beautiful. However (and this is a huge however), as beautiful as they are, they can really throw us for a loop...or 562478524 loops...per day.
Today I will introduce my newest family addition. Willow is just over 2 months old (she is 2 months and 3 days, does that quality as "just over"?), and we are learning things, every single day.
Scratch that, some days we learn the same lessons as the day before.
Screw it, let's face it, my child is still pretty much like a gold fish and we relearn things about every 20 seconds...every 20 seconds.
But she is a BEAUTIFUL child.
Here is my entry for the day, today we will talk about 25 minutes out of 24 HOURS with my beautiful 2 month old daughter.
It only took 25 minutes of SCREAMING for Willow to figure out the following :
a) she was not hungry, although mommy did feed her continuously in hopes that mommy would end up being a good pacifier.
b) she was not wet, even though mommy did take it upon herself to change her diaper 2 times, the first time, granted she was a bit wet, the second time was just in case that 10mL of fluid was in fact bugging her.
c) she was not too cold or too hot...vigorous foot temp checking occurred many times throughout the episode
d) noise was not a factor...we crawled into a small hole called "the bathroom" away from older siblings who are noisy as all heck and mommy let them tear the living room apart to do this
and finally
e) that in fact, we were just tired.
