Where to start? It is more difficult than I thought to capture life with 2 girls. I set up this blog a few months ago for several reasons. One being that my girls do so many freakishly funny things I wanted to capture them the best way possible. Two, I feel mom guilt at least once a week for intentionally overlooking the baby book duty. Bella has one and I made a lame attempt to create something that she could carry with her forever. There are 3 AMAZING pages...
Ivy doesn't even own a baby book.
I know, I am terrible but I find myself feeling anxious when I look at all the pages asking about height and weight and other things normal people don't have time to track. Thus, My Daughter Diaries were born.
Today's title was an epiphany as I stood in a familiar place in the girls' bathroom re-rolling the toilet paper to my best ability after Ivy had her way with it. The craziest thing -- she sits on the toilet (makes me proud because we are potty-training) she asks for her privacy, I go around the corner to fold laundry or some other nearby household duty, she calls me in an excited voice, I am thinking she wants to tell me she is proud of her accomplishments, and the entire roll of toilet paper is in a pile on the ground. This happens frequently, like all the time. It feels counter-intuitive to yell at her while she is sitting on the toilet potty-training but I do it anyway, and spanked, and scolded and begged. She still does it...with pride.
So I do feel like I spend a lot of my awake hours re-rolling toilet paper. The silver lining? I am getting really good at it.

Anita! Welcome to blog land. I started one when my girls were born... so when they ask where their baby books are... I shall point them to the computer. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Don't feel bad, Christophers baby book is so full the spine is broken by how much stuff is jammed in it and it is held together by a bungie cord. Sofia's baby book? Couldn't even tell you were it is. I have pictures of Christophers "first" on everything including eating corn on the cob, of course this was pre digital camera days. Sofia's pictures of anything? On various SIM cards that will probably become obsolete one day.
