Today I decided to keep my son home to avoid the 45 minute drive to his day care

Today I also regretted not taking him to day care.

My son is three, and he’s your usual hyperactive, non stop talking and moving, not listening three year old boy. He is the absolute love of my life and I’m so blessed to have him in my life.

By my god, I would be lying if I never admitted that he annoyed the absolute shit out of me.

People don’t understand this. They think, “oh my god, babies are sooooo cute! I want one!” And yes, they are cute. The crying isn’t, though. When they’re older, the tantrums in the store that make you want to hide are not cute.

That being said, today was hard. Everything I asked him to do, he did not do. Everything I told

Him not to do, he did.

But today was a good day. A good, very exhausting day that I got to spend with the love of my life.

I take these moments for granted a lot. He’s not always going to want me to play with me. He’s not always going to want to cuddle with me. Listening or not, he’s perfect. And I’m glad he’s here to annoy the shit out of me.
