  1. So exactly true!! I've been bitch slapped by my child more times than I care to admit. :-/
    However, A's face is still adorable, even in a meltdown (although I know Mom couldn't care less how adorable during a meltdown). :)

  2. The wrong color spoon. Like an attack on their very souls.

    1. It is quite the performance. If only they could be paid - we'd be able to afford Harvard!

  4. Oh, man, this sounds familiar!! My EIGHT-YEAR-OLD was having a meltdown today. I don't even know what to do with him when he acts like that sometimes. Thanks for making me feel better and making me laugh!

    1. I have a feeling I will be there when my kids are 8 too. What does one do when you can't lift them up and carry them anywhere? Oy!

  5. Bless you! I do not miss that part of having little ones! It's so good for moms to know they aren't alone. Just one of the many wonderful services blogs provide. ;)
