Ok but seriously. WHAT is it about toilet paper that makes toddlers all giddy? Maybe it’s the fact that they can shred it into a million pieces? Or feed it to the dog? Or clog the toilet when they decide it’d be fun to throw a whole roll in? Whatever it is, my kids LOVE …
I have four kids under three. At this point in my life, I have PLENTY of real life chaos going on inside the four walls of my home and everywhere we venture out to. Every day there are several instances when I look around and simply have to laugh at the predicaments I find myself in. …
There are these people. Let me tell you about them… They were the ones who brought us home from the hospital as tiny babes. They spent countless sleep deprived nights rocking and feeding and snuggling us. They changed our diapers. They watched us grow into curious toddlers.

Our two-year-old is at that age where he absorbs every conversation my husband and I have. Last Sunday we were talking about this upcoming weekend, and how we’d be going to my parent’s house on the way to visit my brother and sister-in-law.

As a mom, I’m constantly discovering the things that make my kids unique. I’m discovering what makes them smile, what makes them sad, what activities they’re naturally drawn to, how they’re affected by the social situations around them, and what their strengths are, to name a few.
