Mama drama...part 9: The beginning of my day and the end of my day was completely opposite. It started with mama drama. We woke up at 6:30 am, all three of us, for our garage sale. By 6:50 I needed to be out the door to hang signs and be at the garage sale to set up. After a breakfast of a giant plate of scrambled eggs for everyone, we are walking out the door and Adeline has a diaper blow out. Really?! Now, when you haven't had one in months? We get that cleaned up, signs hung around the corner and head to our friend Sarah's for our multi-family yard sale. While setting up, Addie proceeds to cry, whine and exhort her temper for the next half hour. She didn't want anything to do with JD, toys or snacks. Oh child, I love you but I can't always hold you. I'm thankful my friends and Sarah's neighbors were patient with not only my toddler but with my short patience. Sarah's mom came to my rescue - she watched Addie while getting her grandson Caderyn ready AND she made a big pot of delicious coffee!
My morning was full of drama but the day -- and Addie's temper -- got better and better. The garage sale went over great, we purged a lot of our belongings and earned a nice wad of cash. The Baby Bin Walk also happened today, more to come on that :)
And the last short story for the day is when Adeline melted my heart. After her bath we were snuggling in the rocking chair talking about bedtime and how much I love her. After a pause she whispered, dada. What else do you love I asked? She says, mama. And? Papa. What else do you love Addie? Showers she replies. And with that I laid her in the crib and she soothed herself to sleep without a fuss or a cry.
