Should I laugh or cry???

What a day today has already been and it is only 11 am! So- Mr. G woke up earlier than normal this morning wanting a bottle! So- up I go to make him a bottle. I always change his diaper b/f any feeding, but early in the morning if I take him out of his bed and move him to the changing table sometimes all the movement and cold airs makes him not a happy boy! So- I changed his diaper in the crib. It was only wet but as I took his diaper off to grab another one...he rolls over and starts laughing trying to crawl around ...with his little bum shining for all to see. I turned him over quickly and put his new diaper on asap (TRYING to keep the cream only on his bum)! So I feed him and he went back to sleep for a bit. At his normal wake up time, he wakes up and we go down stairs for our morning yummy breakfast. This morning we were having some oatmeal, bananas, and prunes (yes, he needs them and loves them!). I make him a bowl of food and I turn my head for 1 minute to grab a spoon and....oh yes! He grabs the bowl and dumps it all over his bumbo, tray, and himself. Then he tries to start eating all the oatmeal from his covered hands. Laughing at this point...I take him upstairs for a morning bath (we took one last night as well!). After splish splashing in the tub....we try again! Oatmeal, yum yum...he eats great! After having his morning play time...he heads up stairs for his morning nap. I change his diaper b/f nap time. I am rubbing his butt cream on his bum when he takes his hands and pulls his feet up towards his head and then....yes you guessed it....poop! I have no diaper in my hand yet so I quickly grab a wipe trying to catch the poo! It goes all over the changing cover pad and graham's clothes and legs. So I clean him up! He takes a nap. I finally could take take my shower and get ready for the day (all you moms know how that goes). So I did! Then, I hear Mr. G up from his nap. So, I go get his bottle ready...head upstairs and feed him. He eats good, and then I hear him grunting some more. So after he eats I change his diaper again. I am putting the new diaper on when....all the sudden my face starts to feel something wet.....unbelieving this....Graham is looking up at me and peeing all over me. My cleans clothes, everything! I just thought...you are kidding me! I am still laughing (somewhat) at this point. So I clean him up and put clean clothes on him for 2nd time of the day. I put his lotion on and start to cut his little finger nails. I get to the 3rd nail and I see blood.....I had cut some of his skin. So....even though he wasn't crying...blood is already on his clean clothes. So I take him and run down the stairs. Get half way down the stairs he burps (since he had just eaten a bottle), and then spit up goes everywhere...on me and the stairs. Since I had just fed him...and the running down the stairs brought some of his milk right back up (way to go mom)! So at this point I am about to saying to myself....how can ALL these things happen in ready like 3 hrs! I have been through 2 outfits so far and Graham has been through 3! I have seen every kind of bodily fluid from Mr. G already today...so hopefully me make it through the rest of the day clean! ha! So- far this is our Friday morning!!!!!!!!!!! =) But, lunch with daddy always cheers mommy and Graham up!!!!!

Aw, but I promise you will soon miss the days of spit up, uncontrollable bladders, oatmeal, and early feedings!!! As unbelievable as it sounds I sure do miss it! Olivia is now wanting to use the big girl potty (just not sure how to) and tells me what she wants and doesn't want at each meal! I know I'll miss this one day too!=) ha...the JOYS(truly) of motherhood!

Precious girl! Bless your heart! I was totally rolling (also empathizing!) reading about your morning. All mamas have days like this when you laugh and the you cry...and then you finally laugh some more because it's just so unbelievable! (Our worst days ALWAYS happened at the airport and during flights.) Anyway, I'm so glad you documented this day.
