Sometimes Being A Mom Sucks

Sometimes it's really hard. It's messy, it's trying, and it definitely takes your patience to levels you didn't know existed. Sometimes it sucks and I don't feel guilty one bit for putting that out there!

Austen and I haven't really been seeing eye to eye this week, hence the lack of blogging. I didn't really have anything good to say. He's been uncooperative, disobedient, and not so successful in the potty training arena. (Yes we've had a major setback there, so for everyone hating me for how easy it was going and my smugness about it, rest assured, I've cleaned up more human waste than I care to talk about.) The one thing that saved us was that he's at least been sleeping good. Well, that and we finally had a nice day today.

I think he's just really bored and he's 2, so he's pushing the limits of everything! Including my patience......I think he's even a little frustrated too.....

But I can't stay mad at this:

Getting out of the house and letting him run around was all he needed! He's been an absolute angel today! Obedient and everything!

The other day he pulled his tool bench in front of the curio cabinet, climbed on it, and sat there to eat his snack. I thought he was just being silly until I realized why he had done that.

He totally wanted to watch himself in the mirror. Like father like son! They can't get enough of themselves!!!
