It has been a shit day. The first meltdown occurred at 9:45am + she had to be escorted out of story time. Once we got outside, someone (a man, most likely one who thinks highly of his dad jokes... ) commented that she did not in fact have “good vibes” today. Asshole😂. . Four more tantrums followed as we attempted to salvage our morning at the library. The final eruption was bc her llama could not hold her monster truck . She doesn’t understand opposable thumbs yet, or stuffed animals really... The tumultuous morning was followed by a shitty nap, that she fought + only lasted an hour. . Then her sheep slippers arrived, and I was SURE they would save the day bc she is VERY into sheep + goats these days. I was wrong. Apparently she likes her sheep in books + not on her feet. I had to wrestle her to get them on! And in the 13 seconds that she stood in them, I asked her to smile for a pic + she did!!! I didn’t even know she knew what it meant to smile or how to do it on cue... I was asking out of habit really, but look at this CHEESE! So sweet. . I know some of you thought this was going to be a “one smile + it’s all worth it” parenting pyramid scheme post, but it’s not. Shit days happen. It’s ok. You’re not a bad mom + this one day will not scar your child for life. I’m hoping🙏🏽. Pour yourself a drink and pass that kid off to your partner so you can calm your nerves + look at sweet pictures of that hot-ass mess of a child, in peace! #Motherhood #WhyAreWeLikeThis🤣
Out past my bedtime💃🏽
Happy Birthday chicken, aka The Girl, aka Maddy✨ I cannot believe you are 14!! I love you; and I am so grateful for all the joy you bring to the world + our family. Only 7 more years to Vegassss @tlledvina😂
Narrator: This was the exact moment she knew the schedule was indeed fucked + they would all pay dearly, for years to come... An essay entitled: Mothering a Virgo. . Who else has a child who lives + dies by their schedule/routine🙋🏽‍♀️. Selah knows when we are 5 min off schedule or even if we’ve made one more stop than usual, while running errands. She is not here for it + she lets everybody know how she feels! Y’all pray for us, bc once she realizes that I run a good 10..15...60 minutes late, she is goin to be done done with me.
Ain’t no papa like the one she’s got✨ . Happy Father’s Day Raymer!! You’re the silliest friend she’ll ever have, the master of bedtime + her favorite person to say “hiyyyee” to. ” Thank you for this very beautiful life + the endless supply of bubbles that you finance. We love you💚
I love this age (21mo). Her personality is getting more defined. She is curious about everything. And, all of her emotions are amplified. When’s she’s happy, it’s euphoric + when she’s upset... pray for me🙏🏽. She is becoming more aware of how she feels + the general mood, and she’s learning to play with them. When she’d like to switch the mood up, maybe say... at bedtime, she turns the CUTE on HIGH! She’s head titling, giggling, waving + saying “hi” a million times bc what kind of monster could put a cute kid to bed🤷🏽‍♀️🤣🙋🏽‍♀️!! . I love seeing the world through her eyes. And I love amazing days like today, especially after tough ones like yesterday. It reminds me that this is all so very temporary... the good + the bad. A gentle reminder not to take any moment for granted. And, I didn’t even remember yesterday except to mention that it’s over. Thank god for grace... and goats, but mostly grace✨ . >>>be sure to check out my story for today’s play date at @luckyladdfarms! That place is amazing! They have the cutest baby goats, an alpaca that moonlights as a Cardi B impersonator (watch it’s mouth) + according to Selah, the best swings ever (pictured here)!

Selah stepped into this kid’s “ice cream shop,” so he handed her an “ice cream” + then said to @dolewite101 “you gotta pay me now.” James looked at me so confused... I’m like, “pay the man!” He still didn’t understand, so “I paid” the kid + we thanked him for his services. . As we walked away, James asked, “what just happened?!” Helloooo they are playing pretend!!🤦🏽‍♀️ Sometimes I wonder about his childhood y’all...
