Rough morning...

Is it possible for a toddler to wake up on the wrong side of her crib? If so, that certainly happened this morning. Rachel slept in this morning and wasn't all that thrilled that I was the one greeting her. She wanted her daddy. Can't blame her though, her daddy is definitely a lot of fun. Once we got over the trauma of Daddy not being there, she then was quite reluctant about giving up her binky. I was finally able to coax it away from her, but she still wasn't a very happy camper. So, I just walked out of her room and allowed her to wallow while I got some laundry started. After the laundry was started I asked her if she wanted pancakes for breakfast (she's still crying) and I told her that she could eat them wherever she wanted to. So, here are Rachel's two dining choices this morning:Rachel ate about half of the pancakes on the kitchen floor and the rest in the family room. I guess a girl has to have options! :)
Luckily Rachel's grumpiness wore off, especially once I pulled out a new pair of shoes for her to wear today. We headed to the grocery store and she was so good about being in her stroller. By lunchtime she was much more willing to eat in her chair at the kitchen table. The life of a toddler... :) Mornings like this morning make me grateful for the opportunity to get out once in awhile. Andy was home from work last night in time for me to head down to Enrichment at church. It was a nice night out. I'm sure Rachel had fun with her daddy last night and wanted the fun to continue this morning! Mom isn't nearly as fun... :)

Oh, it is definitely possible for a toddler to wake up on the wrong side of the crib. I experience it on numerous occasions. You would think after a long nap or good night of rest, they would be happy, but, NO! Plus, I am positive it is the age. Hayden is already so opinionated and so adamant about certain things. You gotta love it!

Dads are always the hero. They are gone all day and Mom has done all the correcting. All there is left to do is for Dad to walk through the door and throw them up in the air and give them a big kiss.

It is still wonderful to be a stay at home Mom. They need us too.
