The other night as Sawyer was supposed to be sleeping, he created something neat out of tinker toys in his bed. I went in to encourage him to sleep, and he held up his creation, which was something between a propeller and a spaceship.
“Mom Mom Mom,” he said. “I’m going to take it to school tomorrow and show everyone and they will be so proud of me!”
My heart broke just a tiny little bit when he said that.
Want to know why? You’re going to have to watch my vlog to find the answer. You will also find the answer to this question: What is the hardest part of having kids? Also, this week is Cooper with Kiki—no coffee in sight, but plenty of shouting baby. You might want to adjust your volume. (Seriously. She is loud.)
As a quick note, I don’t necessarily think that your attractiveness decreases in direct proportion to the number of kids you have. I totally know some people who are hotter after having kids. But it’s an uphill battle.
To those of you winning that battle: You go, Glenn Cocoa!
What do YOU think is the hardest part of having kids? Do you agree or disagree with my assessment? How have you handled these hard parts of having kids?
Totally agree, about all of it.
Son of a gun, this is so heflulp!
