We skipped the snip –  Now  diapers and discovery channel.

Diapers, potty training, and erections…

How cool is being a mom? Today it’s pretty awesome. I got home from work, which dare I say was uneventful (I may pay for that statement tomorrow) to tiny human #3, 10 month old Phoebe, trying to walk and ride her little bike.

Phoebe is my child, who was meant to be. Not that the other two were accidents… we asked for them. But Thaddeus (or Little Man)-tiny human #2- is A LOT. In every way and every situation. Good. And bad. So here I am 39 and not really ready to shut the door, but not sure we could survive a 3rd. I went to pick Thaddeus up at daycare. The kiddos were all outside on the playground. The teacher saw me and asked “Did they tell you what Thaddeus did?” Ok. Give me a minute….I took a deep breath. Here we go. What did he do? Thaddeus climbed up the 8 foot tower with the big slide, but instead of going down the slide he pulls his pants down and peed of the side of tower. Great. Perfect. Buddy we don’t go potty on the playground. You have to go pee pee in the potty. A few days later Little Man has discovered his erection and proceeds to go around and ask everyone if they want to see his big penis. Buddy. You better get this out now when you’re little and cute because in a few years, you’ll be looking at a felony. I told my husband he could go ahead and schedule that vasectomy. Two weeks later, I’m ugly crying because one of my employees was mad at me. About the snip…..guess we dont have to worry about that for at least 9 months. Now here I am 40 with a 6, 3, and 10 month old. Phoebe is my bright, bubbly, go with the flow baby. A higher power knew we needed her!

As I sit here and write this, Jazmyn (tiny human #1)  and Little Man are sitting outside with me as I grill chicken (everything tastes better on the grill. Also, try Melinda’s spicy garlic parmesan wing sauce. It’s amazing) on this beautiful August night, writting their own stories, just like mommy. Life is pretty great!
