This past weekend we went to the Mountain State Fair in Fletcher NC I had a clogging competition, but we also got to enjoy some of the fair. Aiden rode his first rides, he rode the dizzy dinos and he rode dumbo the flying elephant! I wasn't sure at first if he would like them, but he loved it! Last year at the fair he was 2 months old and this year 14 months old, my how time flys!

Motherly Love Is......

WOW...this is SO true!

Motherly Love Is..............

...pretending that you're already full when your child wants the one cookie left in the box.

...wishing it was you with the stomach flu and not him.

...cluttering up your precious storage space with her baby clothes because you just can't bear to part with them.

...always having his favorite snack in your handbag(and your favorite photo of him tucked in there too)

...accepting the soggy half-eaten cookie she lovingly offers you(and eating it too)

...buying a box of cereal just to get the prize he so desperately wants.

...sitting through an entire Barney DVD because it's her favorite and she wants to share it with you.

...being driven crazy when he's with you,but missing him like crazy when he isn't.

...when, even after endless sleepless nights, continuous mounds of laundry and a house that looks like a toy store after a tornado, one little smile is all it takes to melt your heart.

...when the other child is always the one who started it.

...dealing with everything that comes your way without giving it a second thought, whether it's vomit,snot, or poo.

...happily replacing your favorite painting with that lovely dried macaroni collage he made just for you.

...Being a mother is the greatest gift I have ever been given!!
