Cute lunch.

In honor of Carter's British-sounded pronounciation of the word "baby" (bay-bay), I packed him a lunch last week of a hot dog baby.

I love packing lunches like this. I don't think it will ever get old. Not sure why I add that to a full-time work schedule and a full-time mom schedule, but I believe he'll remember these sweet things I did someday. :)

You know you're a mom when...

...packing a lunch no longer consists of a ham and cheese sandwich thrown haphazardly in a Ziploc. Nope, lunches now take on a whole new level of creativity. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to get your toddler to love a variety of healthy foods, right?! :)

...you give your dog the "all done" sign when he is begging.
...you can clip 10 fingernails and 10 toes in 10 seconds flat.
...your drink consistently has "floaties" in it because a certain little boy would like a sip.
...you have something hanging on your leg beginning at 5 p.m. because they need dinner NOW.
...you have your child's birthday parties planned many months in advance because you saw an invitation you loved and it spiraled from there.
...your child belches in your face when you're sweetly rocking him and singing to him.
...8 p.m. becomes the magic time of the night where you can finally consider sitting down.

Wouldn't trade a second of it! :)
