umm, yeah…
This is what happens when you decide to breastfeed your baby in another room because she thinks her older brother is so interesting that she hasn’t eaten in his presence all morning and has become a total crank-pot.
(I keep reminding myself that women have been doing this for thousands of years, with fewer gadgets like dishwashers to help them out. AND no birth control! So really I should get the hang of it soon. But I really don’t know how they managed. To encourage myself and all mamas in similar situations, I just want to put it out there—perhaps they didn’t—just like me! )

Keren my dear, I don't know what people did for thousands of years, but my living room looks exactly like that a lot of the time!
oh honey, they didn't. My house looks like this much of the time, too. And it's become my personal ministry to other mamas to welcome them in while kicking things out of their path with no apology. It's life with very young children and we do each other no favors to pretend like that life is tidy!
thousands of years ago you could let your kid run around outside and the neighbors would keep an eye on him. LOL =)
Yep, I'm in that same boat--nurse in private because #2 will not eat if #1 is around. It's amazing the destruction they can do in 10 minutes (#2 is a quick eater)!
But they had dirt floors, one dish, a pot and no furniture to overturn. And my house often looks like that. Often.
Although, I suggest a thomas dvd. That was what I did to keep Peter out of trouble when Moira hit that age. They're little 10 min stories. 1-2 and baby is done!
Jon says "that looks like our living room!" I'd say for now it's a losing battle, but someday we will regain our sanity!
