There are so many good days in parenting. Honestly, they far outnumber the ones where you contemplate tube tying as a brilliant solution to avoiding too many more horrifyingly difficult toddler days. It is wonderful being a Momma. I swear I wouldn't trade it away ever...even on those tube tying thought days.
I never was warned that those good days and those difficult days would be one in the same though, and never did I think it could happen in such record times as to give you whiplash! A good night's sleep leading to a playful toddler...a lunch and then a fought nap leaving behind an overly tired child not wanting anything to do with any requests made of them.
Or how about those days when you go into the bedroom and see a Waterbaby open and drained all over the bed and pillow in the middle of naptime?? Yeah, those days sure aren't fun ones either.
Hormones wash over me at less than a moment's notice right now being 28 weeks pregnant and crying in frustration is sometimes inevitable. Those moments that I can't hide quickly bring a remorseful and cuddly two year old who wants nothing more than to make Momma feel better. Of course that doesn't last the whole rest of the day because there are still missed naps and independence to deal with the rest of the day but those moments of cuddles are what get me through...at least until Papa gets home to take over for a few minutes! ;)
