A look into the chaotic life of a mom of five (two small boys, two obnoxious dogs and one husband). :)

  • Hello! I'm a 30-year-old Mom of two small children residing in Southern NH. I moved here in October of 2007 with my husband, my then 19-month-old son, and two very energetic dogs. When living in MA, I worked in the field of Early Intervention providing play therapy to children who were delayed or disabled. I loved it! Yet, I have to admit that I wouldn't want to be anywhere other than where I am right now. I truly enjoy being a full time Mom. I find it to be extremely rewarding, and who better to give me daily belly laughs than my two children? When I find free time (ha!), I do a bit of freelance writing for http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/65212/amy_fillion.html. I've found this blog to be just the thing for me...when I have only five minutes of spare time, I can still get some writing in!

Upside Down and on the Ground

Published by aviolettel under parenting Edit This

It’s amazing to me how each day with Noah will remind me of moments I shared with Ryan when he was younger.

A few days ago I had Noah sitting on my lap, facing me.  I zoomed him backward so that he was upside down and tickled that chubby tummy of his until I extracted the greatest of belly laughs.  I then pulled him back up to me to observe that goofy new crooked-toothed smile of his, one top tooth fully grown, the other just coming in :)  How cute can you get?  Well, he decided that this whole upside down thing was just too much fun to pass up and pushed his legs off my chest with such force that I had to catch him as he flew backward, giggling the entire time.  I tickled him once again and pulled him back up just so he could push himself back again and again :)  This seems to be one of his new favorite games to play with me now and when he first discovered that being upside down was just that much fun, I immediately remembered when Ryan made this dicovery as well.  And that’s when the smile quickly jumped onto my face and I began to laugh right there with Noah.  These simple discoveries that we witness our children making has got to be one of the most amazing aspects of parenthood, that’s for sure.  And that would bring me to Noah’s second new form of amuzement.

He’s now discovered that dropping items onto the floor from his highchair is captivating.  He’ll sit there with his head and arm dangling off to the side of his chair and slowly let go of whatever it is he’s holding in his chubby fist.  And of course, we make a game out of it now :)  “uh oh,” I’ll say.  To that, he’ll giggle and do it again.  Of course.  I can definitely laugh about the adorableness of these moments, the way his head is tilted to one side, the sound of his voice as he laughs and how my reaction makes him want to do it all over again.  But man does the cleanup stink! :)  Today was the first day he’s done this in a restaurant and I must have looked truly interesting to onlookers as I was on my knees picking up after the mess when all was said and done.  But hey - he was happy :)
