You are the best mom ever. I hope you took a picture of the orange taped back together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week/page/2#post-1414287 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 05:10:02 +0000 Sara L. 1414287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tape was a brilliant solution! I'm pretty sure I would never have thought of that. </p> <p>I sometimes had a hard time keeping a straight face when my middle child (who is all about the drama) would have unreasonable tantrums. He was just so small and stubborn. It was so cute! He is also the most openly affectionate and snuggly of my kids, so that probably helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week/page/2#post-1414240 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 02:56:01 +0000 Debbie 1414240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle you are Mom of the year to me!

Perfect parental problem solving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week/page/2#post-1414053 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:55:47 +0000 Anonymous 1414053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK. I related to too many of the mommy shorts, WAY too many... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week#post-1414052 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:46:21 +0000 Anonymous 1414052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, too funny! I know my kids were just plan psycho at times and would get themselves in such a fuss over the silliest things. But then, I probably would have eaten the orange while she threw the tantrum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week#post-1414014 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 04:32:48 +0000 Janet 1414014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, and I like the pasta frosting.</p> <p>When my niece was little, she refused any kind of dressing except ranch dressing. But I discovered if you told her bleu cheese was ranch, she loved it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week#post-1414003 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 04:08:35 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1414003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S.

Sneaky butter... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week#post-1414000 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 03:56:49 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1414000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness, that was hysterical! I remember those times so well. Only I wouldn't have had the foresight to tape the orange back together. I would have had my own meltdown of tears and "I'm not a superhero and cannot put that orange back together no matter how hard you wish for it!!!" So congratulations, you have just further propagated the illusion that you can fix anything, and have done so for longer then the rest of us ever hoped to! Deep breaths... You will survive the toddler years. I promise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week#post-1413996 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 03:46:19 +0000 Carla 1413996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Abeille...I did the same thing!

We let her help pick them at the grocery store, and I think that helps.</p> <p>This week, for example, she got to pick a pomegranate at the store. She was reluctant to try it at first when we opened it up, but when we reminded her she picked it, so she she tried them. And then couldn't get enough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mom-of-the-week#post-1413833 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 18:31:11 +0000 Helena 1413833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!!
