Happy Friday

Just dropping by today with a quick, "Yahoo!!!!  It's the weekend!!"  Going to have a fun one, I think.  We are going to hit up a street fair tomorrow in my husband's home town and possibly grill out.  Should be a great time.

Some of my random thoughts this afternoon:

Totally going to make this for Logan for his birthday:

Adding a super hero Logan to it though.  Got the fabric, starting today, as soon as I finish this post.  Today: Being, y'all!

Also thinking about making this for Logan for his birthday:

He's been in quite the Superman phase lately.

Speaking of phases, I'm so glad most of parenthood so far has been a phase, and I'm starting to think most of it will be -THANK GOODNESS!-  That thing that your kid does today that drives you crazy, he will most likely not be doing in a couple months.  He'll have moved on to something new to annoy you.  But at least you can take courage that "This too shall pass."

Currently Logan is in the "But I want to" phase.  Example- Logan is hitting the dog with a stick.  Mom says, "Logan, let's not hit the dog with a stick."  Logan says, "But I want to!"  Mom says, "Just because you want to do something doesn't make it a good idea."  Logan says, "But I want to!"  Repeat.  Please, PLEASE, PLEASE let this phase be over soon.  Any ideas out there as to how to combat the "But I want to"'s are extremely welcome!

I was reading this article the other day about how awesome toddlers are although they are crazy hard.  I especially liked the part about how they butcher the English language.  It got me to thinking about how I miss Logan calling the kitchen a "Chicken" and a spoon a "Smoon."  At least he still calls water "Watey" and everything "Ey-Shing."  His little voice is pretty much the cutest sound in the world.

Being a mom is pretty awesome even though it's SOOO hard sometimes.  It's pretty special to be someone's favorite person in the whole world.  I wouldn't trade it for a cushy job where I sit on the beach and do nothing all day.  Ok, maybe just for an hour... or two ;)
