Loving My Day Job

Today was a great day. Days like today make days like the last one I wrote about so worth it. I have a kazillion things I want to write about tonight but I first need to give a follow up. I have to laugh thinking about how dramatic I can get. Not all of these pictures are of when Noah was gone but I thought I'd share them to give an idea what it was like.

Lyla is really into projectile vomiting right now! Once while Noah was gone, Lyla threw up on me, down the wall and all over the floor while I was holding her. So while I was dripping all over the place, trying to keep her head up and keep her from choking, keeping the dinner from flooding the stove, grabbing a rag to clean the messes, and trying to clam McKay's hungry and tired demands, McKay slipped in Lyla's throw up and nailed his head on the ground! That was only a few short hours after he tried to keep his little feet gripped to the kitchen stool while reaching for the soap (that I told him over and over not to play with) on the counter. He slipped and landed mouth first onto the hard wood floor causing his two front teeth to be jammed into his gums and cut up his upper lip (He now has two gray teeth!).

This picture doesn't do justice to the damage she can do!

By instinct I was trying to keep it from coming out and it hit her in the face instead.

Her head wasn't quite big enough yet to hold her headbands in place.
She was sleeping like this for a while before we noticed.

McKay was doing this for a while before we noticed too! (the wall not the nose) To make it even better, this is at our friends house in VA. Sorry Stin and Scott!

This little guy was having a melt down so I put him in his room to cool down. He finally stopped screaming and lightly knocked on the door. I opened the door and sat next to him on the couch to let him explain what was going on. With big tears in his eyes he just said, "Mommy's da best!" I couldn't help but wrap my arms around him. It melted my heart.

Lately out of nowhere he'll say, "Mommy/Daddy, I love you!"

I wouldn't give up any of the "dramatic" moments if it means I get to hang around these two everyday. Well, maybe some of them!
