Things I love about having a baby in the house.

With all of the hard and crappy things our family has had to deal with some times it's hard to see the sunshine in it all. Tami took Mackinley to the grocery store tonight while I finished making our lasagna and I had a few free minutes after...what did I do? My eyes fell upon the refrigerator and I realized I LOVE having those silly letters and numbers magnets stuck to it.

While we were eating dinner I kind of put my head in my hands out of emotional exhaustion from the day, Tami looked at me and said "are you having one of those 'I wish I never had a kid days?'". I looked at her and said no, because I realize we have it tougher than most but I would never give up the magnets or the spoons all over or the millions of sippy cups.

So here is my list:

Magnets on the fridge
Baby spoons under foot
4 sippy cups all sitting on his table 1/2 full of water
Tiny socks that have lost their mate
Bubbles with no bubble wands because Mac stole them to chew on
Busy Ball Popper with a binkie blocking the air way
Ripped up kleenex all over the floor
Itty bitty flip flops for summer
Rubber balls in the garden
Books from one end of his room to the other
And best of all...kisses accompanied by the sound of "mmmmmmmm"

I had a rough day today but it's all part of life and our life is good.
