Maybe today was a little more like what an average day is going to look like.

Let’s start with a 5 year old who went to bed too late and woke up too early. And let’s just say that this particular 5 year old’s behavior is very much dictated by a) sleep and b) blood sugar.

Let’s add in a 3 year old with a bit of a tummy issue, which means I was not only changing Camryn the Poop Machine, but also cleaning up an “oops, I thought I was going to pee and poop accidentally came out” mess. And that happened twice.

At 10:30, Logan found me in Camryn’s room, arms loaded with Nutella, bread, and peanut butter, and he requested a sandwich. I sent him back to the kitchen with it, and 30 seconds later, he appeared again with Nutella all over his mouth. “I had a taste” he informed me. I chuckled and sent him back again. I finished the diaper change, walked into the kitchen and found him with his tongue in the Nutella jar, having one more taste. Next time use a spoon, buddy…

During one of Cam’s feedings, Connor wanted a snack. I told him to go ahead and find himself something. He asked for Cheetos and Chex Mix. Not the healthiest of snacks, but I didn’t have it in me to fight that battle. I see him walk through the living room (yet another battle I didn’t want to fight…sure, go ahead and eat your snack in my room while watching tv.) He was carefully balancing two heaping bowls, one filled with Cheetos and one filled with Chex Mix. It was at that point I remembered it wasn’t just any Chex Mix. It was chocolate Chex Mix. And there went Connor’s dinner…

Just a few little snippets of our day.

Pictures are from this morning, before the mayhem.

I’m glad we have plans to swim with friends tomorrow.  I might lose my mind if I had another day like today.  Never a dull moment, that’s for sure!
