I figure I should commemorate this moment with an awesome comic that Patrick found.
It is titled
Natural Parenting

you all know my thoughts about being a mom and this adventure called parenting...I love it....but man is it hard.
For Instance....
Last night Audrey woke up from what I imagine was a night mare. It must have been a pretty bad one since I couldn't calm her down. She didn't want comfort but at the same time she did. I held out my arms for her to cuddle up with me and she would willingly accept the cuddle but once she was in my embrace she would struggle to get out, So I would let her go but then she wanted to be held again. This happened about 5 times. Poor thing didn't know what she wanted. And neither did I. She wouldn't stop screaming....not crying, mind you. It was full fledged "I hate what is going on" screaming. I kept asking her to tell me what happened but that would throw her into a bigger tantrum. The screaming caused her to start to gag so I ran her into the kitchen. I would rather have the puke on the tile then on the carpet. Once she threw up, I knew it was bound to happen, she started in hysterics again and kicked the puke bucket, I had provided over. Mom intuition...you got to love it.
After about 10 minutes or more she finally calmed down. For a while there it was a little scary.
At one point, of this horrific tantrum, I just let her roll on the ground kicking and screaming. At this moment Patrick thought it would be an awesome idea to taunt the little thing. So he would nudge her with his foot every few seconds causing her to scream louder and kick harder. It wasn't helping. But it was pretty funny. I put a stop to it after about a minute.
Can't Imagine myself with another one. Seriously...I can't. But One day we might have another.

Oh Patrick, shame on you! J/K- Ross has been known to do the same thing. Must be a guy thing or something.
