My Weekend - A Summary

This article from Babble.com, "24 habits of highly annoying toddlers (who, of course, we love anyway)," totally sums up my weekend. A few items from the article that especially pertain to my household:

A sampling:

#3 High pitched screaming: Are you being stabbed? Has your skin literally caught fire? Has your entire family been murdered and the village you grew up in burned down? Oh, I see, you dropped your cracker and felt that a blood-curdling scream was the most appropriate response.

#7 Eliminating grown-up pop-culture cred: Who should have won an Oscar? Who knows? You don’t, and the last movie I saw in the theater was Wolverine. On the other hand, we've seen the whole second season of Yo Gabba Gabba.

#8 Making the house look like insane people live in it: Toys, magazines, and clothes are strewn all over the floor; the drawers and cabinets are all locked; and people in bathrobes and pajamas are often found walking back and forth moaning for coffee. Oh, and that “cleanup, cleanup, everybody, everywhere” song? We don’t sound crazy singing that at all.

#18 Being inflexible: “Sure, we’d love to make plans this Saturday. Here’s the thing: Jacob usually naps from 12-2, so we can have brunch early or meet for a late-afternoon coffee. But he didn’t sleep well last night, so he may go down for his nap early, so we’ll have to call you right before we leave to let you know when we’ll get there. And of course we need to back on the road by 6:00 to get home for dinner and bedtime. Does that work for you? We’re also available on Sunday at 6:00 a.m.”
