The Joys of Motherhood

Ethan Tyler Wright! That’s right… you know when you hear your full name, you’ve gone and done it! The joys of being a mom. Changing a boys diaper when you are half asleep is a funny process. I’m still not sure where the pee went when I was changing his diaper this morning, but at only three months old, he sure thought that was funny and squealed as he smiled real big. I think he is more aware of what he is doing then we give him credit for. What a silly kid.

Yesterday was a tough day. Couldn’t seem to keep him happy no matter what I did! I was tired to say the least by the time I got in my bed. Then when he woke up this morning at 4 am, he ate and then wouldn’t go back to sleep. He screamed and screamed until finally I decided to wrap him up real tight and lay him in his bed… turned on his music/projector and talked to him in a sweet calm voice until he went back to sleep. Stubborn kid.

Today has been much better. I thought for a moment there that it wasn’t going to turn out so good, but he has been much better so far today. I’ll be honest, I let myself get frustrated sometimes, and I know he has to feel my frustration which I know doesn’t make the situation any better. Learning patience. I do love my boy very much though and I wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world. Not even a nights rest.
