balm for a mom's (of a toddler) soul

Did you want to get bombarded with photos of my kid?  Because that is exactly what this post is.  My once incredibly chill kid has suddenly realized he has wants and needs RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!  Sometimes he can sit in his room and go through books for, what seems like, hours and then he's demanding I give him another banana or else my poor ears are going to pay for it.  All that time spent, when he was a newborn, reading up on how to take care of an infant when I really should have been studying how to handle a toddler.  I nannied for so many years, for many different families, that I thought I had toddlerhood in the bag.  Not so.... not so.

These photos help remind me that having a toddler is a pretty fun adventure (some of the time- I'll write most of the time when my ears stop ringing).

I don't know what he is doing with his lips but it kills me anyway!

I love getting bombarded with photos of your kiddo! They are awesome and his curls kill me. You guys holding hands is also pretty awesome. xxo

Mindy- His face kills me too and I wonder how he feels when he sees me making "I want to squeeze you like crazy" faces at him.

Andrea- Yay, that's so sweet. Yes, his curls are so sweet but they don't curl as much in this colder weather. They need heat and humidity to thrive.
