Bad Mom? Good Mom?

When I was a kid I used to think, "When I'm a mom, I'm gonna let my kids do whatever they want. Watch whatever they want on T.V. Wear whatever they want and eat junk food all day long." To my 7 year old self this indeed sounded like the perfect Mom! Today I found myself actually being "That MOM" and it wasn't as much fun as I once believed it to be! In fact I think it brought on some guilt! However guilty I felt about this mom moment I was not to proud to post some very awesome photos!
This is Frank! Today while I was facebooking and being rather unproductive I let Franklin watch his very favorite T.V. show, Yo Gabba Gabba!

I was however unaware that sitting next to him was this lovely bag of chips. Cute part of the story, Franklin actually asked if he could have them. He said, "Mom mom, dis?" His cutness won me over and I became to Cool MOM! "Yeah sure you can have those chips! Forget the fact that it's 9:30 in the morning and your only in a diaper! Sure my love eat away. Ok now tell mom, Do you love me more?"

So listen up all you! I'm sure there were plenty of "No Nos" in our little adventure this morning but for one second I got to live our a 7 year olds fantasies and doesn't Frank look really really CUTE!

  1. I have candy bar nights. When I'm too tired to deal with them, and they won't eat anything else, but I don't want to get them out of their boosters, I throw a candy bar their way. Sometimes I top it off with skittles. Of course, it all bites me in the butt when I have to fight those stains in the laundry. But sometimes that fight is worth it.
