... whose child is calling to me from the chalkboard in a crowded neighborhood yogurt joint "Mommy, draw a ding-dong, draw a ding-dong!" (Too bad only he & I know what he is trying to say is a "ding dong bell - aka a doorbell)
... who has the greasy hair & workout clothes on at The Little Gym, and not because I just came from the gym
... whose son "toots" in the bathtub, giggles & follows it up with "Mommy, pull my finger!" (Thanks Dad!)
... who thought it would be a good idea to zip into HT at 8:00 PM with my 2 year old. Sorry again to the other patrons in my checkout aisle who had to witness me wrestling Blow-Pop's away from my son.
... who seemed to be one of only 3 people (and the other two were with me) dancing and carrying on at the recent Coldplay concert. Come on people, how can you not move - at all - to music? I kid you not, it was a sea of stiff bodies that this Widespread lovin' hippie was not used to seeing.
... who might have a bit of trouble controlling the volume of my toddler's voice at the local library - what can I say? The kid gets excited about books & it's just too damn quiet in this place!
Life with a toddler has definitely gotten a bit more hectic - I now have a little person on my hands who is a total sponge. Each day has it's ups & downs - lately the downs are full of emotional tantrums & tears, but I know we will survive. I have to try to laugh as much as I can at even the worst moments because I know one day I will miss this little 2 year old ;)

Maybe if we go out in public together, we can at least divide the stares.
I'm the mom of the kid at the library that grabbed the video off the shelf and ran for the door setting off the anti-theft alarm. Now that disturbs the quiet like nothing else.

I was here. Naptime and Bedtime have been such drama the last 2 days, that I have come to laying next to the crib until my 2 year old falls asleep. Sometimes I give her little touchs. Today I was thinking "why is in so wrong to enjoy this time with her." I would rather she sleep peacefully then cry, cry, cry. She won't be 2 forever. But hopefully I won't have to stay in there forever either :)
