Exhausting, frustrating, but in the end, not such a big deal, I guess. :-) Glad you were able to help pacify him Sunday night and it made you feel better. Sometimes we just need a little reminder that they are still "babies", I think. cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050161461399202632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-85009446284947170262014-05-21T20:05:10.605-07:002014-05-21T20:05:10.605-07:00This is such a great post and something we need to...This is such a great post and something we need to remind ourselves....be patient. How are our guys so smart sometimes. And you're right. It IS hard. Super hard. Taking a minute is so important. Don't forget that we are all human. Not just them, us. And sometimes we need time for us. You are doing great mama...and our little guys WILL challenge us. But I'm sure we wouldn't want it any other way. Right?!? Right? =)Katie @ yellowmangolife.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018898623054101209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-15915501678969037532014-05-20T19:29:42.843-07:002014-05-20T19:29:42.843-07:00Well shoot I'm tearing up over here.

I'd like to think I've gotten better, but it is definitely a learning experience for mom and baby. But man they sure do know how to frustrate the pants off a person!

Isn't it amazing how one little guy can frustrate you more than anyone else in the whole world and then two second later have you wrapped so tightly around their little finger?Kary Glawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232275851109702284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-74070676247705707372014-05-20T11:42:03.066-07:002014-05-20T11:42:03.066-07:00Ok, I've almost cried like 2-3 times reading t...Ok, I've almost cried like 2-3 times reading this - you are sooooo right..!!! I get so frustrated sometimes when he's making ANOTHER mess and I just don't want to clean up again and again, or the constant crying of a teething little boy (have you tried teething tablets).. Yes, I try to remember is to remain in control/calm - when he's upset and throwing a fit, I have to be the one that's still in control otherwise it ALL goes out the window.. It's been almost TWO years and I am still working on it and reminding myself of this. What a wonderful and supportive husband you have!! They sure know how to say just the right things sometimes!! :) P.S. Those cakes are sooo fun!! :) Thanks for sharing these special moments.Laureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416043033045863831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-87790782365552800482014-05-20T08:03:33.131-07:002014-05-20T08:03:33.131-07:00This is such a wonderfully real post.

They really know how to push our buttons! The poop everywhere would have definitely sent me over the edge. :) You are such a great mama, though. You're doing awesome. The fact that you can own up to your shortcomings and want to work on them means you are already teaching him wonderful things by example. Now please teach me how!

Chris and I have both reminded each other to calm down, relax, he's only a baby. When in the moment it's hard to remember that but it's so true. Patience is sometimes very hard!
