...I would argue that it is sometimes the pain in things that make you appreciate them the most... it is my unconditional willingness to endure the middle-of-the-night feedings, the cleaning up of vomit, the screaming for no good reason, etc that makes me realize how much I love my child and love raising him...

Clean Yourself Up!

The baby WILL NOT tolerate his nose being wiped. This leads to a lot of snot on my clothes. That's right, I am my child's preferred kleenex. You can see what he thinks of me- where I rank in things.

On one hand, it is refreshing that babies so lack in the area of self awareness that they can just be. Live in the snots. Live in the poops. Live with green food smeared all over them. "Whatever, it's just me in all my glory." But on the other hand, they can get pretty nasty! And then they don't want assistance in getting fresh again and get angry with us for trying to improve on their appearance with a simple swipe of the snots!

Well I refuse! I refuse to be someone's kleenex!

Who am I kidding.
