Little Buddy Turns Three

And I am so proud of my big boy, just handing down all the baby boy clothes that we will NOT be needing any more and feeling very sad about it. Glad I survived the birthday party with 20 plus people in our tiny home. I will be completely honest, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, having people over and cooking and doing neat seasonal games and such but when I have a new baby I do not. I prefer cocooning til the baby is a little bigger to really get back into the swing of things. I am a huge fan of breastfeeding but then I really am private about it and do NOT want to go out to dinner with family and nurse at the table or in the bathroom stall or bring a baby out to the freezing car. So, there, I've said it, I have to be honest with you all. I LOVE doing things and getting out and dragging my kid(s) all over the place and doing much of the time alone BUT not with a new baby especially in the winter. It kills me to stay away or home but I prefer that to going and feeling all stressed and having a crying baby in a restaurant who does not take a pacifier, etc. OK, there, it's out and I am just biding my time til Little Munchkin is bigger and it is warmer outside too. I can handle play dates and family houses, but just now and ever so gradually. So, I survived and I am happy that I will never again have a 2 month old baby while throwing a 3 year olds birthday and doing both half-assed and feeling all stressed and spun. Now Cop Dad just needs to get the snip-snip and we will be be all done :) Just felt the need to get that out as so many of my friends think I am all put together and loving every minute of this (and then feel really bad about themselves as mothers) and I wanted to let them know I am not and I don't and I am human and will admit it. Happy Birthday Little Buddy! We love you and I get such a kick out of you playing with your Play Doh toys I could cry (and do). You are awesome!
