Little pleasure #1:
I purchased cabinet locks like a good mother, months ago when we moved into this house in an effort to baby-proof. I never installed them, but don't be too alarmed, I decided it was easier to just move all toxic materials out of reach rather than lock them behind cabinet doors. Everything was going along just fine until recently Madison and the others have enjoyed opening the kitchen cupboards and banging them shut. The other night Madison took out a box of ziplock bags and pulled all of them out and spread them accross the floor. Finally today I had had enough of the cupboard banging and washing pots and pans that had previously been cleaned but now were dirty becuase they had been handled by slimy hands. I installed the cabinet locks, and maybe I've been locked inside for too long, but with each one I finished I would laugh to myself in a triumpant way- "Ha ha! Lets see them get to THESE pots and pans!" Its sick, I know. But I couldn't help myself! Then when I was all done I got to reap the rewards of my work and watch as each little rug rat attempted to open the cupboards, only to have thier efforts be in vain due to my geniusness--or rather, those who invented cabinet locks! Little victories equals little pleasures!
Little pleasure #2:
While documenting the above mentioned triumph, I snaped a few pictures of Madison playing (note: she's in the kitchen, just after attempting to open the cupboards! Ha ha!) Anyway, I didn't notice at the time but when I looked back at the pictures I laughed out loud at the priceless moment I had captured! Notice the slobber hanging off her mouth-Classic! You can't plan photography like this! It brought a little smile to my face, hence, little pleasure #2!
Oh, the joys of motherhood!
