Web Comic: Always a Mom!

This is something I find myself doing (or noticing needs to be done) a lot. I think there are certain instincts, maybe we could even call them skills, that we acquire during our job as a Mom that overflow into areas of our lives that don't involve our kids. I do have to say the books on how to talk to your kids especially during a tantrum have taught me some valuable tips on how to talk to adults in all areas of my life ;) I find myself using the phrases I say to keep my 3 year old from freaking out about things with lots of grown ups and they are usually even more effective. Of course the effects of Mom training extends to all manner of things like making sure people's cups don't get too near the edge of the table and that no one eats things off the floor. Plus we are usually awesome at cleaning up spills and getting out stains. Once a Mom always a Mom!

Web Comic: Date Night

We've been on this date quite a few times for sure, although the food varies and the outside location also. It was especially great when we first had our second baby boy and didn't want to take him into a lot of public places but I still really needed to get out of the house. Sometimes we would even just grab a yummy drink from my favorite coffee place and drive around out by the Rincon Mountains and look at the view. It made for a nice break and was almost guaranteed to have both kids be asleep at the same time for a little breathing time.

Web Comic: mini hairdresser

Just one of the sights I have seen returning home from work. At least he has more patience than almost anyone I know.

Web Comic: That Sentimental Pee

No we are not on that road right now and probably will stay off of it in the future ;) Two is plenty. But, this was one of the fun things about the trip. I have to admit I kept the positive tests from our second baby. It is just such an amazing feeling when you see those results appear before your eyes, I didn't want to just throw it away. Don't worry, I am a clean freak, of course it is disinfected and stored safely away for my memory only ;)

Web Comic: License for that Butt?

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who does this but I always seem to be knocking over my 3 year old with my caboose. He's just at the right height now and I am not always paying enough attention I guess. I feel so bad and try to watch out but it still seems to happen. I bend over to grab something and he is right there and next thing I know, boom.

Web Comic: Smart potty words

Well, yes, toddlers love talking about poop, and shapes, and this is what you get. Yes, he really said this. No, I did not pick this one for a comic but guess who did ... Ah well, life with kids, and men. Lots of poop talk.

Web Comic: Diaper Dudes

I think this must come from some deep male sympathy for their sons having to go through the pain of circumcision but my husband just loaded up our son's diaper with petroleum jelly after his circ. I don't know how much it really helps with the pain but I think it does help things not stick to the diaper, including pee. For that whole week I kept wondering why every time I held our son I got pee all over me from diaper leaks. Then I figured it out, use a whole tube of petroleum jelly in a diaper and it doesn't absorb anything, the pee just runs right out, thanks Ken ;) Glad I figured it out at least and didn't blame the diapers anymore.

Web Comic: Cleaning bottoms

This is me trying not to go bankrupt from my husband's method of diaper changing for our new son. He is very careful but always seems to use a way more than I do on paper towels and wipes for diaper changes, and this is our second kiddo. Ah well, better than having poop all over the place I suppose. I really am lucky he is so involved in taking care of both of our sons.

Web Comic: Um, those are actually for boobs

I am sure I'm not the only Mom who has walked in on her toddler playing with her breastpump parts ... and husband too. Maybe I am the only one who would admit it. At least it is a pretty rare occurrence but once in awhile our son will get ahold of a box of pump parts and he loves taking them apart and putting them together. Not quite Legos but I guess it can't hurt.

Web Comic: Whip Cream Fairy

It is really weird but this was so true for our son. Maybe he just needed a little extra burst of dairy or calcium. For awhile there it seemed like every time we had whipped cream for a treat he would cut a new tooth. It's really late and I'm zonked. That's all I've got for this one.

Web Comic: Already Sweet on Snow White

I am so curious what our son's future girlfriends and wife will look like. He already seems to have a big crush on Snow White and also likes Cinderella and Gizelle (from Enchanted). If I say "hi Snow White" and wave at the TV he gets shy and tells me to stop. I am thinking she may be inspiration for future romantic pursuits. We will see how it all plays out. For now, whenever we meet a girl in real life who is a pretty brunette and he gets really shy, I know why ;)

Web comic: Boogers of Steel

Every once in a while our son gets a booger that just seems to jump around his face every time I try to wipe it off. I always just try to snag it before he loses complete patience and ends up running around with the little thing stuck on for good!

Web comic: Comics and underwear

Yes we actually had this conversation but he has a point. Whenever we visit our favorite mall in our hometown we split up and he goes to the comic book store and sends me to Victoria's Secret. Maybe it is his way of getting me not to feel like he is spending money on "silly things" but I suppose the opposite is true.

I think this one speaks for itself ...

Web comic: Talk like a parent

He is right you know, that actually can happen, but it is not the normal thing you say to a 2 year old. We find ourselves worrying about stuff like that and that we are going to somehow damage our son for life in some way. I even told him the other day not to touch the chicken cage at a farm because he could get Salmonella. I can't wait to hear the things he is going to tell other people when he is a little older. Hopefully we don't make him too afraid to leave the house.
