Life with a toddler

Some days, I feel like I have this mom thing down pat.  By the end of the night, I'm ready to give myself a big gold star for a job well done.  Most days, though, I have moments where I am worn out and am grateful that we all survived another day.

This parenting business is not easy, but luckily it's also pretty awesome.  This toddler business, however, leaves me scratching my head and wondering, "Do I really want another?"

The tantrums!  The drama!  The secret toddler language that I feel like they invent on purpose so we can't always understand them!  Kidding... mostly.

Lately I have been trying to always give him my undivided attention when we are together, but it's hard.  I also know that all of these precious moments will be gone in a blink of an eye, and I better make the most of this time while I have it.

**I realize as I'm writing this that some moms are probably thinking, "Psh.. you only have one kid.  Seriously?!?  Just wait!"  Please allow me to wallow in my ignorant state.
