McCann Family Blog: Best Mom Ever!

As a disclaimer I should say that as we are quickly approaching the glorious age of 2 it is at least once a day that I think "Worst Mom EVER!!!" Ronan is currently able to make me beam with pride and nearly break into tears of frustration in a period of 5 minutes. I won't go into the horrifying Macy's experience that made me want to fling myself down the escalator. Taking a 2-year-old to the mall, sans stroller, to try and get some shopping done seemed like a good idea at the time. Trying to carrying a wailing 2-year-old and shopping bags out of the mall was not exactly part of the plan. Worst Mom Ever Moment!!! At least that seemed to be the thought of those trying to enjoy a nice, quiet day at Macy's:) I believe there is a part in every mom brain that is obviously defective. It is the part that says "You should take your tired, cranky kid to the mall! It will be fun!" or "It's a great idea to have another baby! Babies are super cute! And in two short years, you'll have another 2-year-old!" This part of the brain thinks in exclamation points!

Anyway, enough ranting. Today I was a good mom! I took Ronan to "Touch a Truck." We have been wanting to take him to one and a friend tipped me off that one was planned today. Ronan was in heaven. He sat in nearly every truck there and then ate two snow cones (his and mine). It was 90 degrees by 10am today but I braved the heat (Ronan didn't seem to notice) and came back without a dry piece of clothing on my body.
