Yummy, Dirt!

My son ate dirt today.We were at a birthday party for our friend's daughter who turned one. Lo always goes all out for her kids' birthdays and today was no exception. She had a craft section set up where the kids could plant Impatients into Mickey Mouse cups. There was a big bin of potting soil that Jonathan was having fun digging in. I looked away from him for a minute and when I looked back, Lo was asking me where Jonathan got a brownie from.No, no brownie, just a huge clump of dirt that he decided to take a big bite out of. Yuck! His tongue was covered in dirt! I tried to clean him up as best I could but the dirt snack really didn't phase him. He was off on his next adventure quite quickly. I guess that extra little dose of plant food might give him a growth spurt tonight.It's hard to believe that Delaney turns 3 tomorrow!Where did the time go? It seems just yesterday she was growing in my belly and now she's a walkin', talkin', sassin' 3 year old. I have a lot to get done tonight before her birthday party tomorrow so this will have to be brief. I am taking on a princess castle cake. I hope it turns out okay. Plus, I haven't even started her birthday video. It may just have to wait a week or so. I am exhausted from Jonathan being out of town all week. I'm really going to try though. But I have to keep in mind that she won't care now about the video, what she will remember is the time I spent with her on her birthday making it a special time for her. I just have to keep that perspective when the pangs of guilt at not being perfect mommy creep into my mind.
