  1. Oh My Oh My Oh My. I relate to this so so much. I often wonder if I'm actually going a little crazy because I love the mess out of Baby Boy, yet he drives me absolutely batty, all in the span of 1 minute. But, truky, I wouldn't give it over for anything in the world. I wouldn't change a thing, even my struggles for those first minths, even my doubt, and my lack of mom confidence, and learning as I go...lliterally. This is truly the best job I've ever had and I Honestly know there's nothing that compares!

    When you have a toddler, all the right and world in your world are the same, yet it's all yours and you know you only have it for a small time. :D
