Why did i become a mom?

I ask myself this question when the boys have driven me to the brink of exhaustion, when i am not to sure how much more of "mom....mom.....MOMMA" "ouch, stop hitting me" "MOM Rohan's spitting" "No you STOP" I can take. They always make me smile. I never knew if i would be a mom, not that i didn't want to be, truth be told, i didn't really know HOW to be a mom. It wasn't until i had Aragorn and REALLY until i had Rohan that i understood. No one knows HOW to be a mom. There is no test you can take, no book you can read, and no one you can talk to that will prepare you for your first projectile vomit experience, or your first up all night, literally no sleep with a sick child experience. But there is also nothing that can prepare you for your first "i Love you" or your first "That's my kid" moment. Now that i am a mom, i can appreciate my mom a whole lot more. I understand now she didn't know what she was doing either, but she did it DAMN well!! I am glad that she is her for my boys, to experience all the fun, all over again. I think she's getting off easy though, she was of no help on that projectile vomiting incident......I'm just saying!!

So i guess when i ask myself "why did i become a mom? I can say this is why!!

Mother's Day

Mother's day came a couple days early for me. The boys thought it would be cool for me to use it this weekend. I got a new coffee maker, and 2 new coffee cups. The purple one is from Rohan, who told Eric it was a king, and that's what he wanted. Aragorn picked the pink one cause it has a heart on it. I LOVE that i got new coffee cups for mother's day, can never go wrong.

He wrote this today, all by himself, i didn't even know he was doing it. I am SO proud of him!!

Rohan does it his way......

Rohan has discovered if you use your elbow, you can do all kinds of stuff at once.

You are looking at a future gamer just like daddy & mommy (not as much as daddy though)

Rohan's Check up

We did Rohan's 2 year check up yesterday, and he is getting to be a big boy. 30 lbs and 3 feet. It's always fun when we get Dr. Jacobs because she is always so happy to see them and how they are developing. Rohan is doing well in all the areas of development he recognized all of the animals, and named all their sounds, even gave her a few she wasn't expecting. She said as long as everything goes well, and he doesn't get sick, we'll see her again when he's 3. He had to get 1 shot, so i made up for it by taking the long way home so they could nap a little in the car and going to Wendy's for chicken nuggets and chocolate frosty's. I didn't take a picture of him yesterday, but i did get one of him Thursday with his buddy Dillon.
