just wanted to give you a little "then" and "now" experience.
"then"
"now"
for those of you who have been in a cave for the last year or so you may notice that there is a little person in our lives "now" who was not previously (fully) there "then". to recap her name is aubrey elizabeth o'malley... she likes to bite things (not unlike sunny baudelaire) and speaks a sort of broken english/gibberish which we as parents now understand. our newest lesson as parents has been that "no one ever told us that being a parent involved the handling of fecal matter on a daily basis" which knowing what we know now having weighed all the benefits and the aforementioned downside to parenting we must admit that there are times when we are not sure that we would have signed up for it... however ultimately the benefits far out way any of the minor drawbacks and we would still do it all over again! crazy how that works. never in my youth would you have been able to convince me that I would be dangling a child by the ankles to keep her little poop covered body from escaping while groping for diapers and wipes and all with a smile on my face! oh the joys of parenting... right?
