yesterday my little had a play day with a 6 year old girl that was... special. looking back over the day and comparing the two... my little monster is an angel. he listened to what i asked. he ate all his food with no fight, he only had one tantrum and that was cause his friend had to go home cause it was nigh night time
As sad as it is some times you have to see what everyone else has to deal with to appreciate what you have. i want to set up another play date but honestly im worryed that he will start acting like her ( she is very ADHD as well as mostly blind) Is it wrong that I dont want her as an example for my little spounge child?? or should i let them play in hopes that the social building will out trump the bad behavior? What is a mom to do?

Toddler life thursday
When my monster was born I had to change how i lived my life ( well duh gorge), and i have some tips for you moms that love to look nice in the morning ( like your little is going to care).
1) set your alarm for 30 min to an hour before your little normally wakes.( about 9 to 12 hours after they have gone to sleep)
2)Pop in the shower ( time saver, if your going to be in jeans then skip the leg shaving, it can be your little secret)
3) skip the curlers and blow dryer. If you just bun or braid your hair up you can get the waves for later and it is out of the way, and then you don't have a mama ponytail
If your little beats you to the wake then you can clean up while they are eating there breakfast,( save the shower for nap or bed time.)
And in all honestly your kiddo is not going to notice if you have on make up, and most people think there spouse looks better with minimal make up. Like this blog mirror mirror off the wall. (http://www.ayearwithoutmirrors.com/). read day 152 for her groom-to-be's thoughts on less make up.

19 months 28 days/ Laundry
I love that my monster wants to help me with my house work. He helps me vaccume, pick up his toys, sweep the porch, and is the best cheerleader for washing dishes. However when it comes to folding laundry it is a nightmare.
Once he sees that launder basket he is determined to got it empty. once empty he has to put it in piles. Oh and mama better not try to fold any of it or he will just toss them on the floor.
I have found that my whole way of cleaning has changed. not only in the laundry, But to vaccume i have to make sure he is not giting in to things while im not looking * tip vacume while they are eating. Then they are in a safe place and occupied.
I have even perfected the 2 min shower but that is for another day.

mornig hugs/no more ears
As soon as my lil monster wakes up he starts to yell to let me know he is up. Well today he yelled and then ran to meet me and gave me a great big hug.Now that is how you start a morning.
Lol yesterday he figured out ( to my dismay) that he can cover his ears and yell really loud every one can still hear him.. For hours he ran the house screaming MAMAMAMAMAMAM LOOOOOOOOOKkKKKK with his hands over his ears.

Fly pencils fly.
Lil monster he is has decided he wants to color. However when he reaches for the pencils he just grabs the whole thing and tosses it across the room. While i pick them up he tosses the color books. It is a never ending game to him.
From monster to monkey
Ok so I know my kid likes to climb , what kid doesn't, but it is now to the point of no return...
So last night my monster and i were relaxing on the couch watching tv. Well on the comercial I got up to go get a drink and appon my return my monster was laying on the BACK of the couch. Thats right, the back. I grumble at him to get down and even give him a hand. He sits nice for a min and then up he goes. Well Im thinking he wants to play so I start tickling him and blowing raspberries on his tummy. He pushes me away and up the couch he goes. Now he thinks gitting up there is a game.OH GEESH.
At least he has gave up his table diving.
