Me: Let’s go make daddy some coffee
You: No I’m going to nick your keyboard and smack it on the floor instead waaaaaah

Me: Let’s sit down for breakfast, do you want melon or banana
You: I want melon banana cheese milk strawberry no I’m not eating any of it waaaaaah

Me: Before you open the front door, let’s put on our shoes and coats
You: Actually I don’t want to go out anymore waaaah

Me: As you’ve pulled all the books off the shelf, shall we read one
You: No I want to go out and play with my ball waaaaaah

Me: The bubble blower is not for chewing
You: For God's sake woman let me chew

Me: We don’t touch the wires
You: Waaaaaaaaaah

Me: We don’t throw our blocks
You: Waaaaaaaahh

Me: Open your mouth so I can put some teething gel on
You: *clenches mouth shut* 

Me: *Almost Waaaaaah*
You: Waaaaaaah (quick get the gel in)

Me: WAAAAAAHH
You: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

(shit the shitty gel doesn’t work why did ever think this baby thing was a good idea they’re put on this earth to torture us and why am I such a shit parent that I can’t even take your pain away I can’t deal with another sleepless night)

And then. Then you put those tiny arms around my neck. Then you grabbed me by the ears and made me kiss your forehead. Then you fell asleep with your head on my belly. 

And then I knew I wanted you to stay right here forever, grumpiness, never-ending teething, shitty gel and all.

Yup, that's about right! Parenthood makes us all feel guilty about how pants we are at times and we get stressed out so much, but when those little arms wrap themselves around you, hug and kiss you, you know it's worth it! Thanks for linking up #binkylinky

Nope, they really haven't got a clue. We refer to days like this as "moon-on-a-stick days", as the Bean wants everything and nothing, and preferably all at once!

It doesn't matter what they do to us and how tired/cross/stressed they make us feel, those little arms around my neck and a look in those eyes takes it all way- that loving feeling is something else isn't it.

I enjoyed reading this. The grumoy phase will pass - poor little thing:)

I try to remind myself it will eventually pass, but it's so hard to see him upset and not be able to do much. I think the blasted tooth is finally through though. Now to catch up on a week's worth of missed sleep!

Haha I'm sure I've had many similar conversations with Potato!
Isn't it lovely how a little kiss and a cuddle from them makes up for so much. It makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks for linking up with #BinkyLinky

Definitely makes it worthwhile, in fact when he gets all cuddly I wonder why I ever got upset with him in the first place!
