And then, all the other parents in the play area turned and gave me that look.

You know, the one that simultaneously says, “Oh, wow, that is kind of awesome” and “Ohhh, honey, I’m so sorry” as well as “I AM SO INSANELY HAPPY I’M NOT YOU RIGHT NOW THAT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME NOT DANCING A JIG AT THIS VERY MOMENT!”

(I mostly identify with thought #1.)

I always wanted a kid with an egg growing out of his head.

Dear Braden,

You are endlessly in motion!

Mommy is SO TIRED. Mommy is SO EMOTIONAL.

Remember how Mommy keeps telling you to stop throwing your various body parts on Mommy’s belly because there is a baby growing in there and we don’t want to hurt it? That baby is growing so much that it’s taking all of Mommy’s energy away from her. It’s SUCKING OUT HER FRIGGIN’ LIFE FORCE.

All your silly energy is awesome. Mommy really loves and appreciates it. Your songs and dances make Mommy smile so much.

But sometimes Mommy just can’t keep up with you right now… and that’s okay, except when things get a bit dangerous.

So, for the next couple of months, could you please stop:

running
climbing
jumping
running
twirling
leaping
running A FREAKING LOT
taking off your diaper and peeing on the kitchen floor, THEN running through the puddle, slipping, falling and bashing your head
