Instead of dwelling on my many shortcomings like my disorganized house, papers and life, I decided that I would search for small accomplishments to pat myself on the back for. #1 I figured out how to bathe both babies at the same time. While Jackson "washes" his toys under the faucet, I quickly sponge Hank off in the bathroom sink. No one drowns or even cries and both babies are cleaned, lotioned, diapered and dressed with only one mess to clean up. Why didn't I think of this earlier?
#2 I scored a once in a lifetime photo op. J passed out in a deep sleep on
daddys chest and Hank thought it was funny so we got some pics. All three of these boys were still and made a pleasant face for the camera. J never woke up!
#3 We got dressed and made it to the neighborhood easter egg hunt on time. The women's club in our neighborhood did a benefit this year for a little boy with Duchene Muscular Distrophy and organized an awesome hunt. The field was divided into age groups so that the babies could get eggs instead of the area being scoured by all of the older kids leaving nothing behind. There must have been 10 million eggs and Jackson got like 50 of them. He wanted to stop and open all of them prior to moving on. I taught him how to hunt eggs earlier in the week by putting a gold fish in eggs and hiding them under our furniture in the living room. He knew there was a prize in each egg and couldn't resist opening them right away. He saw the easter bunny and also a dog---and charged straight ahead toward them without even looking to see if mommy and daddy were behind him. Hank slept through the whole thing.
