Tuesday Toddler Tales


Every Tuesday my friend, Lindsay, writes a little anecdote about her toddler. I love the stories she shares and thought this was a fantastic idea. So, every Tuesday I will share a little story about what life with a toddler is really like! I hope you can all laugh a little and relate to the everyday new discoveries of being a parent to a toddler!

Today I Made Jackson his lunch and placed him in his booster at the table while I made my lunch. Everytime I looked over at him he would give me a funny look and move his arm really fast away from his side. Well, I sat down and began to enjoy my lunch with him proud of how much he had already eaten of his hot dog. I let Jackson down after we were done eating and began to clean up. While doing so he began to look in the hole on his booster where the tray would go. I was curious to see what he was looking at so I peered in the hole myself. To my surprise I found a stash of hot dogs. That's right folks, he was shoving his hot dogs down the tiny canal when I wasn't looking. All the while I was praising him for being such a good eater. Little booger! I'm onto him now though!!!

The evidence. I found 4 hot dogs shoved down that hole. I had to use a knife and some shaking action to get them out. Hopefully I found them all!!


Once again flashing his "look how cute I am mommy" face so that I would only laugh and not get upset with him. He's got me pegged!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
