It's been another one of those days...you know, the kind where you're ready for bed at 3:30 in the afternoon. Grant is potty training and she went through 5 pairs of panties (3 containing juicy poop) before 11am. I've also cleaned numerous puddles around the house. Meanwhile, David is in to everything and at the same time is claiming to be bored. Oliver is just precious but still has to be fed every 3 hours and then held upright while he fusses for the next hour because of his tummy trouble. We just finished dinner and I rewarded the children with chocolate...they are wearing most of it. I decided to take a break from cleaning the kitchen to see what oldest brother and sister are up to and tip toe in to the den to peek. They are both dancing their hearts out and singing to the "Fresh Beat Band" on tv. Now, you parents know just what I'm talking about...."we had a great day....a super day.....spend some time together..." come on-you know that song! I literally had to put my hand over my mouth to contain my giggles! In that moment I realized that this is the good stuff....this is life. There is nothing but simple unadulterated joy in dancing to a catchy song. So, bring on the pee pee and the biting and the screaming and the poop smeared panties! At the end of the day, it's all precious and we did "have a great day....a super day..."
