Now, I know without a fact I am not a perfect mother. Not even close. Some days you might say I am a borderline "good" mother. I have those days when I just want to send the kids outside and I sit and read all day. But, normally I think I do a pretty good job. Everyone is fed, clothed, and pretty happy throughout the day. But I have a toddler who thinks I am a completely unreasonable mother because I won't let him take his nap in this..
(the box of pears I have been peeling and slicing today)
Because I was being so unreasonable Sweet Baby James had a face that looked like this...
(notice all the dirt on his hands, face, and shirt as I have been so mean as to let him play outside all morning, I mean really, how much more can the child handle?)
(Insert Heavy Sarcasm Here)
So, dear Internet friends, tell me, am I doing him wrong? James wants to know.
Wendy, you are a TERRIFIC mother!!! Your kids are soooo lucky they got you!
ReplyDeleteNow James, those pears don't really look all that comfortable. But at 3 AM in the middle of the night when your new friend is awake and keeping ME awake, I think I could fall asleep in a box of pears, too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd Wendy, you are the greatest!
You are the best mama ever!!!
ReplyDeleteNow who wouldn't want to curle up on a nice bed...of...pears...I'm really tryin' here James, but I just can't do it!! Get in your comfy cozy bed!!
ReplyDeleteObviously you are doing this poor child wrong. look at that face.
ReplyDeleteMama Hen, you are a great mom! All my kids get that expression on their faces too! Especially in those toddler and preschool years when they want to get into all sorts of crazy mischief they have no business getting into! They will get over it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat face is hilarious! How unreasonable can you be, what on earth is wrong with sleeping in a box of pears??!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to sleep in a box of pears. I understand, James.
