Mom vocab

As I find myself saying things I would never say, I have to laugh. Aiden and Mia are fighting more and more for their share of individual attention from me. As Aiden starts informing me that he is going to throw up, I call him over to me to prepare for it. Mia sees this call for attention and feels my time is better suited on her needs. As I am trying to scrape out the awkward goldfish from his mouth, I end up pleading with Mia. Aiden has a weird thing on texture. If a goldfish just doesn't feel quite right for whatever reason, out comes everything. It is usually an all or nothing thing with him, too. Mia's crying gets louder now and my patience gets shorter and shorter. Finally I look at her and say, "Mia! Girl, can't you see that Aiden is throwing up in Mommy's hands! Don't you think he needs me more at this moment in time?" She just looked at me, blinked and laughed. This made me laugh as I walked to the sink to clean up chewed up fish guts that Aiden left for me. All the while, Seth is just sitting there, entertaining himself. Even though he may not be talking yet, I know in that little mind he must be thinking to himself, "those guys are crazy!"
