Slight Misunderstanding.

Let me just say that Lukie has such a helpful little heart. He loves to do helpful little tasks. I, mommy of 3, take full advanta--er-- encourage his helpful character by giving him a super-special helper task just for him. I have been asking him to throw diapers away in the trash can. He is so cute. He gets all excited, takes the diaper and scurries off.

How many diapers does it take before I, mommy of 3, realize that my sweet & helpful toddler has been throwing dirty diapers away in his dresser drawer instead of the trash can?

A poopy one from yesterday tipped me off.

We're back!

Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies. My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk. So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play. Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs: "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.
