HARD DAYS IN MOM-LAND

Today has been a rough day in Mom-land. Like, my child is going through a stage where he's not eating any of his favorite foods, he cried the WHOLE TIME he was in daycare during my yoga class, has since averaged 6 fits an hour-- one of which where he threw himself backwards and head butted me in the eyeball.

Mom cried once today and has officially called the day quits. I am frustrated, sure, but I also have no doubt in my mind that every single mom out there has had days like this.

Here's the keyword: days

What's important for us moms to remember is that these bebes of our's have no idea what is going on. Teal is popping 2-4 teeth right now, he's mentally and physically growing, he's trying to understand how the world works-- that's got to be insanely hard! Of course he is on an emotional roller coaster.

I know that this too shall pass. I know that my sweet little boy will return. Maybe not tomorrow or maybe even by the time he wakes up from his nap. I also know that we are adults with (hopefully) completely developed emotional and rational centers that can understand that these babies aren't acting up just to make our life difficult.

God has given us the opportunity to raise these amazing little beings and to nurture them and show them what patience and love looks like.

So, for now, I have put child down for his afternoon nap and am currently sitting on the couch, drinking a giant bottle of unsweet tea and watching Eat. Pray. Love.
