Mr. Mom

It has just been one of those days for Sterling.
Whenever we don't have a sitter for the boys during the week, Sterling has to stay home until someone gets home and is able to let him work (his job is piece rate with flexible hours).
Play by play


6 this morning, Mason decides to wake up and "get ready" with my mom and I. Come time for us to leave, he flips out, and wants nothing to do with Daddy.

9 rolls around and I get a phone call from Sterling saying "We are on our way to the emergency room"... WHAT?! Why? He said that Mason cut the tip of his finger pretty good from the open green bean can from last nights dinner. So the doc put glue on his finger and sent them home.

this next one is the kicker:
Sterling was feeding Benji and Mason pooped his diaper, so Sterling changed his diaper and was bombarded with Benjamin's demanding cries for his milk. So he just slipped Mason's shorts on with his diaper. (Un pottytrained without diaper = no good.) Being a one track mind guy, completely forgets. He feeds him lunch, then lays him down for his nap. about 15-20 minuter later he hears something hit the wall. Mason had climbed into our bed and was standing up, hands against the wall, legs spread, and had pooped...yes POOPED his diaper pants!! Hence the waste was not contained...

The End.

Poor Daddy.

Being a parent, life changes

Well today is Oct 3. We are getting married in 44 days. Soooo excited.
We kind of did everything backwards, but wouldn't change it for the world. We moved in together almost 3 years ago, then just recently had our amazing son, Mason. He is 6 months and makes us laugh when we don't feel like it, when he is not with us, we talk about him, and smile. The most amazing thing you could do with your life is be a parent. Your child teaches you the simplest of things such as, trust, forgiveness, first and formost, patience.
I just saw on the Today show this morning this guym who had a vesictiomy (sp?) at 28 years old, he never wanted children. He said it wasn't that he did like kids, he just didn't want any of his own, he didn't want that responsibily. I don't care who you are, that is probably the most selfish thing a man can do... Let me tell you this, he is going to miss out on a lot of amazing women purely because most womens dreams are to have children in their lifetime. How could you go through life without them? You would be so alone.
We are young, but this has always been what I wanted, if not now I would have tried for a baby, within the next year or two. I want to be able to play with my grandchildren, without being scared of hurting myself.

with all this said. Being a parent is the most amazing thing in the world. Brittie your going to love it!
