Today started out great! Hayden played really with his toys all morning. Then we went outside and played for about an hour in the warm sun and had a really good time. I was very optimistic about the day. It was time for a nap. He actually asked to go down so I thought this was going to be much better. WELL, after 2 1/2 hour of playing in his room (and me consistently checking on him to make sure we didn't have a replay of yesterday) I had it in my mind that he just wasn't going to nap today. So I went in to tell him he could get up, and there he was, in his naked glory, standing on his bed with poopy underwear on the floor. At least this time it wasn't all over the place. I was less than happy but managed not to break down and cry this time. I rushed him to the bathroom. We had a serious talk (that I'm sure got me no where) and I changed him and put him in his crib....only for him to instantly fall asleep! LAME! blah. Although I didn't cry I was still very discouraged and upset.
I called my client who was coming tonight and asked if there was any way she could come next week. I just didn't feel up for doing hair tonight. She said she could which is great but is going to make for a crazy week because I had to squeeze her in. I just needed a night to relax and go to bed early.
Brett came home and played with Hayden outside while I rested for a bit. He decided it would be fun to start a fire so I joined them. Hayden was in heaven.
Hayden yelling "ALL ABOARD"
As I look at this picture I just have to smile. I need to take longer breaths and realize that he is still little. He is going to do things that make me sad and mad but will always do more things that make me smile. I am blessed, I need to remember that.

Carlee! What a rough couple of days. I'm so sorry for all the frustration. But I'm glad you took a moment to remember how blessed you are. You're one lucky momma and I can only hope that one day I'll get to wipe poop off of everything.
Good luck with tomorrow!! Hope you're starting to feel better. - Much love, ERICA
I can't believe how big he is getting! Tiff told me it is very normal and pretty common for little boys to get into poop-art. So don't worry :)
Have you posted pictures of the completed fire-pit? I remember seeing a before and would love to se the after :)
Sorry bud! that really "stinks" HAHA! you just have to look at that cute little face and remember he wont be little forever. He is such a sweet little boy.
EWW! Hayden! So sorry Car, would wipe it for you if I could. Strange that potty training and pregnancy go hand in hand so often. Not a good mix! Love ya!
I'm just now seeing this Car. Well said, all of it. I'm so grateful to have those moments when I'm reminded that these little ones will try us on every level, but for crying out loud..... you still need to go out and enjoy the fire. :o) So glad you have those moments too.
Whoa, that's a story. If it makes you feel better, I think most women aren't good with emotions while pregnant. I probably would've cried too. I hope things run a little smoother and you can get some rest. I'm up for cutting your hair next week sometime.
