So here are just a few "I could live withouts" at the top of my list, in no particular order:
{Toilet Attachment} If I never again had to get Aidan and his wet, germ ridden hands out of the toilet I wouldn't complain one bit.
{Dishwasher Magnet} If you ever wonder why my dishes are rarely done consistently, its because I can only do them when a certain baby is sleeping. Period.
{Carseat Cryer} This is guranteed. Put baby in carseat. Try to distract. Fight. Tears. Screaming. Finally its over. Sometimes my "day out" will revolve around how many times I have to deal with the previously mentioned senario.
{High Chair Challenge} Since the buckles don't keep him down, I may try bungees. Now you know why sometimes I just leave food under his chair.
{The Diaper Derby} The battle of wills. All I need is 6.7 seconds flat to get the job done. But the 29 inch 21 pound contender seems to prefer a full & often poopy diaper. My best move: The sit on the baby backwards to hold him down.
{The Stairs} Any suggestions? I have a gate, but the opening and shutting is a total pain.
{The lack of brotherly love} Self-explanitory.
So as to not sound like a total complainer--I have to say that I LOVE being a mom. It has been an aquired taste for me, but one I wouldn't trade for the world.
And on that note...I had to post a few more pictures from Aidan's birthday. Man I love this these little guys.
And I'm off to eat some Ghiradelli's and watch 17 Again. My date for the night:

i have two boys and i can say that i would like to live without all those things as well!
AMEN, sister! But I do have a suggestion for the stairs. We have stairs in this townhouse and no way to put up a gate that the girls could successfully navigate. Solution: Ppen the pack & play and use it to block the stairs. It's too heavy for him to move, but the rest of us can pull a corner back to get by. I also use it for containment if I'm loading the dishwasher, come to think of it. It'll solve 2 problems at the same time!
Don't use a gate is what I think works best. My kids learned how to climb up and down the stairs at a early age because I have never used a gate. You could show him how to climb up and down ans practice or just make sure your with him when he tries.
you know the second picture is my favorite.
