I’m crabby today. OK, OK yesterday too. In fact, probably this entire week. I blame hormones. Anyone want to question me on that one?
Sorry, hormones back in check.
Not only am I crabby, or more likely because I’m crabby, the kiddo has been acting up as well. Typical 2-year old stuff. Not doing what I ask. Throwing everything in reach. Pestering the dogs. Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn.
And yet…
…during the hardest day this week, I managed to find some beauty, hidden deep. A few finer moments, and something to be !!! about. In a boy with…
… a huge appetite for helping hands.

…an appetite for playing all morning.

… and an appetite for priceless expressions.

@Corinne, Me too. The weekend is going well, I hope it carries over to next week.

Glad that you found a bit of happy among the crazy.

@Carrie Keiser, Some weeks I have to search for that bit of happy, but it’s always there if I just look hard enough.
My kids are always on their worst behavior when I’ve crabby and hormonal. Or does it just feel that way? I haven’t figured it out yet.

Yeah to little helpers! How cute!
My week… well, I prained my ankle and shut my daughter’s finger in the van door. UGH

Crabby week at Casa de Dummies too. Hoping it mellows out next week after we’re all adjusted to this summer vacay thing. Fingers crossed for both of us:)

He’s a little doll!!!
Hello from a fellow crank! However, one look at that adorable face and I cheered right up.

@TheKitchenWitch, What was it about last week? So many momma’s and kidds are cranks. Something in the air maybe?
Love how you linked up to four sites for this! Very creative.
I love the way you capture him with your lens. (And the ease with which you seem to let him help you cook. I need to get better at that!)
@ck, Thanks ck. He doesn’t cook with me that often, but when he does there’s always some extra clean up. Oh well, he has fun.
It is in those weeks just finding something small to smile about is great!
Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!

Take whatever joy you can find, and keep it helping you move forward. I know those weeks. Only too well. They pass, but boy are they long! I hope the weekend has brought a brigther feeling and some rest for you my friend.

@Christine LaRocque, The weekend (and having Dad-oo home) has really helped. It’s nice to have an ally when the kiddo is being defiant.
Can’t get enough of those expressions!
Even when it’s a crummy week.
Good for you, finding the !!!.
Sometimes I’d rather hide under covers…

@Melissa, Ha! I may have just hidden under the covers on Friday during nap time. It felt so good to just drift off to sleep in the middle of the afternoon.
