Before I had my third child, several mothers(especially my mom) have told me that the third child is the golden child. They’re not your favorite child, you love your first two just as much, but starting with your third, you just find them so adorable and you are obsessed. They say it gets worse with 4th, and so on! I think a lot of it has to do with having more confidence as a mother since you’be done it twice already and you got the hang of it, and also, you learn to not fret over little things and relax a little and be okay in the chaotic, messy life. Another reason is you know exactly how fast time flies by, especially the infant & the toddler stage so you live in the moment and take it in full. When my son throws a tantrum, I sit back and not get as frustrated because I know this stage will be short and it’s honestly a little cute how the worst thing that’s happened to him is me saying no to juice. What a life our kids live in, right? What a life!
Here are some adorable things my son has said to me lately to drive me even more crazy:
- “Mama? Eh-eee-dn loooobe mama.” (Aiden love mama.)
- “Mama funnnn.”
- It’s always a battle to get him in the car, as soon as I slide open the van door, he runs to the back and sits in his sister’s car seat and refuses to come sit in his car seat in the middle row. So last week I sighed and said, “Okay, fine then, we just won’t go.” and pretended to go inside the house and closed the door. I let 30 seconds pass by and when I went back to the car, he gave me the biggest smile with his head tilted to his shoulder(trying to be all cute, this sneaky one) and as he climbed willingly onto his car seat, he looked at me and said, “Sooooooory.” while flashing his big dimpled smile. I die!!!
- We picked grapes in our backyard yesterday and we came inside and washed them and we were eating it together. Then all the sudden, he grabs the bowl and runs away while laughing and saying, “My grapes!” I chased him and wrestled to get the grapes back and he kept repeating this and one time instead of chasing him, I sat there and just pretended to cry with this dramatic sad face. He immediately put down the bowl and came to me with a frowned face and gave me a hug and kept whimpering, “No, mama, no mama.” Then he ran back to get the bowl and with his killer smile again, he handed it to me while saying, “Mama, grapes? Eh-eee-dn share.”
See? How can I not be obsessed with him? And I just love men in suits and a little boy in suits? Oh my gosh. And MY boy in a suit? OH MY GOSH. My heart suffocates because I can’t take it.
My son’s suit pants are low-rise and when he wore another brand of diapers, the pants would sag so low, I had to safety pin the back from falling down! And he looked like a little gangsta. Not the look I want, especially when he’s wearing a classy suit. The new Pampers Cruisers diapers are super thin and there’s no sag or the big butt action going on! I was very pleasantly surprised at how thin the diapers are, which means it won’t take as much room in my diaper bag which I am all about! I can fit 6 diapers in my diaper pouch instead of the 3 I used to squeeze in. Then of course I had to see how absorbent the diaper is, being super thin and all, and it passed with high ratings! It holds the wetness evenly and there was no leakage. I used another brand before but Pampers Cruisers thinness has sold me, I am switching to these now! And this is coming from someone who is a very brand-loyal customer, if I like one brand, I stick with that brand and don’t deviate, so I used the other brand for all 3 of my kids up until now.
If you purchase the Pampers Cruisers at Target, they’re having a $10 and $30 giftcard to their store with the purchase of 2.
