Me and my best friend, Raziel.

We're venturing into toddler~land!
I always thought of a toddler as a two to like five year old, but i'm quickly seeing(with Raziel) that toddler~hood can come much earlier, and it's freaking me out. Raziel is entering the terrible two's and he's only going to be one! He has temper tantrums and he is soo strong willed (some say he got it from his mama :0). When he doesn't like something he goes around saying nah, nah, nah (no, no, no). Even says stop! It's just too much( smirking as I write this). When he gets upset he tries to hit you and pull your hair( that's at his worse). I just can't believe the baby phase is over so quickly. :0( Now, the upside is..... He says mama whenever he wants me and wants to be taken out of the playpen. It's the little things that makes this transition so sweet.

Because being a mother is what I want to be.
I don't know if its because i'm almost thirty(next year yikes!), or because the day I spent with Raziel at the park was one of the best days i've had in a while; but I have made a decision with my life that is going to lead me down a completely different road. I have tried to go down this road before, but the truth is I wasn't ready. Now, having Raziel, I know i'm ready to make significant changes in my life.
I don't want to miss out on my little man growing up. I want to go to football games, I want him to have sleep overs, and I want to go to ice cream socials damn it!( my cousins daughters went to one, and I thought, that sounds awesome!!!!!) I want more children, and the truth is I can't do all of those things here in nyc.
I'm just really ready for the next step. The next phase. I just want to be a mom, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I was a little girl I was asked this question, and i'm sure most people were asked as well as a child. I remeber I wanted to work with animals(stayed true to my childhood dream:O), but now that i'm older i've been thinking about things we were expected to say. We are thought to go after the money jobs, the attainable jobs, the jobs that support our families. But what about the two most important jobs that really don't get recognized? How many of us answered I want to be a MOM or a DAD? I know that being a parent is suppose to be second nature, but we never really treat parenthood like it's the most important thing. We tell our children to grow up and have jobs. We pay for the on-going schooling to get these jobs, but what about the lesson and the importance of being a parent? We give little girls dolls to take care of, but after a certain age we take those dolls away for more serious things. How many of us teach our sons about taking care of children?
I'm not saying that we shouldn't teach them the importance of work, but we raise our children, and when they have their own children we say here yah go your a parent, without properly instilling the tools they will need. Most of stumble around, trying to figure out these weird little mini us.(we love them to death, but at first it's like they came from another planet! LOL) But I feel like we should be constantly teaching our children about parenthood, and if they choose not to have children that's o.k But if they choose this awesome job, we have given them the tools to do their very best :
:O)
