A day in the life...

The last two days are the kinds of days that make me question what kind of mother I am. I find myself praying for strength just to make it through the day. Here I am at the end of another day and my prayer was answered...I made it, but do I really want to wake up and do it again tomorrow? Sure! Why not? Tomorrow is a new day, a new start, and the potential to be the first day out our latest funk. Here's to tomorrow!

The last few days have been interesting. Coco finally cut one of her top teeth. By this time Gavin had 7 teeth. Coco has a total of three. Poor thing has been a wreck now for a couple of days. I'm hoping this is what her part of the funk has been.

On a more positive note, Coco did pee in the toilet today! Now before you get all crazy on me...I am NOT potty training a one year old. I was getting her ready for her bath when I noticed the diaper she had been wearing for hours was dry. I just held her up on the potty and she went! She looked down and kind of looked confused but after being showered with praises she knew she had done something good! It was pretty cute.

Gavin, probably not liking all of the attention Coco was getting for that little stunt, decided to just let it go and pee all over the floor in front of me! Thanks a lot buddy!

On a more positive note for Gav, he did ride his bike today for three miles! He started out a little squirrelly but he pulled it together and made it the whole way! It really is one of the funniest things to see such a young kid riding a two wheeler like that! Today the trail was not difficult enough for him so he decided to spend his time weaving on and off the trail just like the big kids he saw last time we were there. I love that kid and his sense of adventure!

My kids keep me on my toes and I'm thankful! There really never is a dull moment in this home! And for that I praise the Lord!

A rare shot of the three of us at Scott's 30th Birthday Party! I'm looking a little bit tired in this one, and believe me...I was!
