When you're a mom.. a shower suddenly becomes a game of "wash as many things as you possibly can in 5 mins" while someone plays peak-a-boo with the shower curtain...
It means having a 3 year old alarm clock who will without fail wake you up at 6:00am when your actual alarm clock is set for 7:30...
and never leaving the house for work without some gooey hand print on your once clean black slacks.
It means watching some Disney movie 29 times a day.. every single day... for a month.. until they find the next movie to watch 29 times a day.. every single day... for the next month...
and it means buying action figured instead of designer shoes...
But like tonight it also means Me, him, Mr. Bear, Curious George, Puppy and his Tiger all sharing a toddler bed so we can snuggle, read a book for the 1000th time.. say our prayers.. and laugh hysterically while making the dumbest faces in the world at each other.
It means Eskimo kisses and tickle fights..
It means loving so hard you think your heart may burst.
Having my little guy was obviously not planned.. but there isn't a day that he doesn't give me a new reason to love.. and to smile.
I was wrapping his Christmas presents today.. listening to Christmas music and it just hit me how grateful I am. How perfect he is.
He has the biggest heart.. I wish I had a heart the size of his.
It's crazy how something so unplanned and so scary could turn into your whole world. I love you monkey :)
Yeah, I'm going to miss him.
