"I eat crayon"

Yep. That happened.  I'm not a perfect mother. Not even close. It's actually quite irritating to see other moms try to act like they are all knowing perfect experienced moms. I love my kids & I'm doing the best I can. I guess that makes me as close to perfect as I can be.

My son cries. A lot. I was told it's allergic colitis and it would get better over a few weeks time. It hasn't. (He has another appointment next week for more questions & immunizations) it's probably the hardest part of my day. Keeping my sanity. It's usually as bad as it gets in the early afternoon. He actually sleeps 5-6 hours at night (thankfully!) so when he first wakes up he is HUNGRY!! And stays hungry until about 3-4PM. I try to stay ahead of him & have his bottles ready to warm up...

So we've hit the next two hour bottle time & I just sit down in the rocker with Tyler. I let Ava pick out a snack while getting a bottle ready. She hands me her cheese stick & says "I eat crayon!" I tell her to say "ahhhh" and sure enough her mouth is black.. Ugh. What am I gonna do? There's not much I can do... She's had rainbow poop before so I open her cheese stick and go about feeding Tyler...
