I try not to cry in front of Grayson and if his Daddy and I have a disagreement, we try to "whisper-yell" so we don't wake him or distract him from his playtime with our arguments. But the other day, I couldn't take it anymore. This turning one year thing is really getting to me.....sorry Kev. I was stressed out, feeling alone and sad, dangling at the end of my rope. It was one of those days and that time of the month.
I finally broke down after I bonked my head trying to reach a dust-bunnied toy from under the desk.
And all I kept thinking was that sometimes it stinks being a mom and a wife and a human. I know, I know....some things you shouldn't say aloud, but we all know it's the truth! Sometimes things don't go our way. Sometimes I just want to be alone for some "me time". So I can finish house work. Think. Sleep. Watch Grey's Anatomy DVD's.
Grayson was there. And he saw me bonk my head and fall into a heap and cry. He watched my dramatics for a minute before jumping to his feet and scurrying off down the hall to his bedroom. Maybe I scared him. He appeared moments later, running awkwardly toward me with his blue blankie in his arms. He handed me the blankie before taking his sassy out of his mouth and putting it in mine.

Because when he cries, that's what I do. I give him his blankie and his pacifier and within minutes he's smiling again.
And so I sat; with dog hair in my lip-gloss and mascara down to my ankles, with a pacifier in my mouth and a blue blankie over my head. And I thought to myself, maybe this doesn't suck so bad after all.
I pulled the blankie off my face and there stood Grayson, staring up at me and smiling with the puzzled look he gets, eyebrows raised, head slightly tilted.

And just like that, I forgot about everything else-- all the nonsense and the stress and yuck and within minutes, I too was smiling again.

So sweet and so smart!
He knew just what to do to make mommy feel better! All because your a wonderful mom to him, he could return the favor when you need him most.
We all get down in the dumps sometimes, and always remember you have family & friends that LOVE you dearly. I'm so glad he brought you his blanky & sassy, that made me smile just reading it!!!
Hope you have a better week...see you this weekend..guess that counts as my R.S.V.P., right?
Awww so sweet! Hang in there we all have those days. Mine was last week I was wanting to "quit" my job as mommy:)
Happy Birthday to the little guy too!
awww...too sweet! Now I am crying ans no one is hear to pacify me. Good story!
Oh Missy. He is such a sweet boy. You should see that as a reflection of you mothering to him. He wanted to make you all better. The one thing is hard but once it comes and goes it gets better to cope with. Can you even imagine how we are going to be when they go to college or get married? I could cry about it just typing about it... XOXO
That was the SWEETEST story ever! YaY Grayson for being such a little charmer! And give that Momma a kiss from all her friends.
What a sweet baby boy. I'm with you that I try not to let the girls see me cry, etc. But sometimes it just happens. It only makes us seem human and like him... perfectly normal! :)
love you girl!
He is so sweet! You are an incredible mom, just remember I am here if you ever need "me" or girl time!! Let's see if this comment thing works!!
that is the best story!
I know it is rough... 1 year was so hard for me!
SO HARD!
But what a smart little guy to think of exactly what makes him better and share with his momma!
I love it!
