I woke up at 2:15 this morning to my son's frantic voice. "I needa go potty! I need help!" So I staggered out of bed and helped him get to the toilet. He gets terribly upset if I turn even a dim light on in the middle of the night, so I left them off and felt my way over to the sink to wash my hands when he was done. I finally got back to my bed and plopped myself down. Right on top of a skinny little three year old.
Me: You stole my spot, Jordan!
Jord: No, I sleep here too.
Me: No. Scoot over if you want to stay in here. Otherwise go to your own bed.
Jord: Okay, I gonna scoot over and go get my blankie. Den I come back ok?
Me: Okay.
Jord: Don't steal my spot, Mommy. I be really mad if you do. I get da edge.
Are you kidding me?! I got hijacked.
*Momagement: management of motherhood, life, and sanity. *This is a personal diary on my daily struggles and amusements in parenting two babies with an 11 month age difference. Jordan, my son, was born April 2008. Emma, my daughter, was born April 2009. Life's greatest challenges are also its greatest blessings. Hope you enjoy!

Ungentlemanlike Conduct
We left the doctor's office the other day and I held the door for the man behind us. He walked out the open door into the lobby with us and rushed around us to the next door. I was thankful because I had both kids with me and maneuvering out the door butt first can be a challenge when the door is heavy. So the man opened the door and... well, let it slam in our faces. Hmm. I re-opened it and ushered my little brood out right behind this man when Jordan decided to go all vocal. "Hey guy!" Jordie yelled to him (the man was only a few steps ahead of us). "You're rude! You are NOT a gentleman!" Geez it's one thing to be rude and have somebody confront you about it, but dude just got called out by a three year old for ungentlemanlike conduct. And on the other side of this, my toddler just stuck up for us. I'm a proud mommy! :)
