Mommy's Special Day

As much as I tried to make this day as easy as possible for Tara, circumstances don't always work out that way. Our morning starting early, with Alex waking up before 6 am and needing some "Mama Love." I wanted to get up with him, but Tara was able to get more sleep by taking Alex downstairs and going back to sleep with him. Kennedy woke up a few minutes later and, as is par for her, immediately wanted M-O-M. I held her at bay, as we talked about the fun presents we had bought for Mommy. As soon as Tara came upstairs Kennedy rushed to the presents and bestowed them upon Mommy. Nothing much, a book, a massage at a spa, and a fun little movie of "The One and Only - Mommy."

As I was getting ready to make breakfast, Tara took Kennedy and Alex into the tub to get clean. It didn't happen. I heard a cry for help as Tara screamed, "We have an emergency in here." This is not what you want to hear when kids are in the tub. Let's just say we had "dooty" in the tub. Alex left his mark, and the kids were sitting in some nasty water. We rushed the kids into triage, and then Tara set to work cleaning up the bio-hazard. She won some major points for that one, as that job goes above and beyond. In the end, everyone surived and as the kids reentered the tub Kennedy exclaimed, "Alex, no more pooping in the tub."





After an eventful morning, the rest of the day went more according to plan. We went down to Mapleton and spent a few hours with June. We came home and went to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day. We had a great end to a busy day. It's fun to see how excited everyone is about Tara being a mother. I know she is a wonderful mom and I can't tell her often enough how much I appreciate everything that she does for our family. Happy Mother's Day Tara - I love you.
