Yup, that’s my “tank of a two year old” in the pic. He nearly knocks my knees out from under me every time he barrels in my direction! It’s awesome!

Loved it the first time, and love it again! Just means a little bit more since Grant (my tank of an almost two year old) has started running at me full force, arms spread open wide, knowing that mommy’s open arms will be waiting to catch him

So well said, Lisa-Jo. Parenting rocks in all its messy and marvelous moments.

And it ain’t for wimps!

Oh, “Crock-pot’ing” it – that’s brilliant. Exactly what I need more of in my life.

Thanks! I’m switching to “real slow” this WHOLE week. Last week was a doozy so this week, I’m crock-pot’ing it!
