Ok, so it’s all lame and silly and stuff but I feel kind of absurdly proud that I took a bath today with both girls and all three of us got scrubbed from head to toe. I think I feel as proud as I do because no one ended up crying. Like, “Holy Shit. I’ve arrived. I’m an honest-to-Gawd parent with skillz.”
And then I put Calli in a back carry by myself and did chores. Seriously. This is what I am now proud of. Boy howdy is life different than it used to be. And I like it.
Yay! You rock 🙂
I second this!
I don’t think it’s lame at all!
I remember the first time I was out and about with a friend’s wee one (6-month-old or so) and realized that I needed to pee, and that meant that I’d have to juggle the baby in a public bathroom stall. And it did take a bit of juggling.
I think it’s entirely justified that you feel proud of this! 🙂
Hey, from everything I’ve observed about parenting smalls, parenting with hygiene is making a mad success of the job!
wonderful.
and I’ll be stealing that icon, thankyouverymuch!
You should be proud. That’s wicked awesome stuff right there.
