Together We Can!

Well, there are days, many some days, where we are I am just going crazy. On those particular days my patient husband gently reminds me that she is only two. I need that. It is nice to almost go crazy, but have a husband who can put things in perspective and stay calm, and pull me from going over the edge. This is good for me. God did know what He was doing by putting us together. (Go God!)

So yesterday, when he was loosing it (after spilling breakfast all over lessons), and Bella hid for the millionth time (so she could poop). He changed her, and all the poop got on the rental carpet – that was the “icing” on the cake. (Ewww… I don’t think I should compare poop to icing.)

The next sentences he spoke were ones I use often, all of you with children probably know them too, “Why don’t you tell daddy when you have to go potty? I am tired of changing poopy diapers. You’re a big girl now.” Except his voice was one filled with exasperation. So I calmly stepped out of the bathroom and said, “Honey, she is not ready yet. She will let us know, when she is ready. We can’t force her. It is okay. I will clean that poop out of the carpet.”

He did calm down. I was right of course. Just like he has been right countless times. After putting on a clean diaper he hugged our Princess and said, “Sorry”. And it was then I realized that we really do make a good team. I almost feel like Super Heroes! Our motto:
