Mommy Bloopers: 5 Things I Admit to Doing
Mother's Day is tomorrow, and I find myself giggling about all the crazy things I do as a parent, that might deem me questionable for a Mother's Day gift.
Below, are 5 funny things I admit to doing as the mommy of an adorable, almost 3-year-old boy.

Eat His Potty Training Rewards
Man, I do this on the regular. I am a sweets-obsessed person, and I'm always hiding behind a pillow or under a blanket to sneak Skittles, M&Ms, or Gummi Bears. Our son calls me out on it every time he catches me, he knows what I'm doing! The shameless part, I eat his potty-training rewards, M&Ms, so much that when he does go potty, I don't have any to give him!
Pretend to Make Breakfast
Our son loves his whole grain waffles, loves them! I use this to my advantage. This is my newest funny mama move: after I set him up for breakfast, I sneak an ice cream sandwich near the toaster. I hug the counter so I'm hidden behind the refrigerator. I figure if he asks what I'm doing, which he does, I can say, "I'm making mama a waffle too." What do I do if I'm craving ice cream before dinner? I make more waffles of course.
I Blink, Maybe I Shouldn't
Every time I blink, something crazy happens. I blink, he bathes in his Jello cup. I blink, he covers his face in bright green marker in a restaurant. I blink, he falls into a koi pond. The little guy won't let me forget this one. Every time he falls, he says, "Mama, I fell into the pond." At the park, he falls, he says, "Mama, I fell into the pond." He gets a new owie, he says, "Mama, I fell into the pond." Note to self: blink sparingly.
Teach Him Quirky Phrases
I say quirky things all the time. When the lil' man repeats the things I say, it is a reminder that I need to get my stuff together. When he eats, he says 50% of the time, "This is yummy in my tummy, silly goose." Bend over and accidentally expose some crack, he will say, "I seeeeeeeee your crack." If I dance when I get out of the shower, this triggers, "Mommy, take my shirt off, I dance my naked body." Recently, I am on an annoying binge of saying "hashtag" every 10 minutes. Yup, you guessed it, he says it now.
Remix His Children's Song
He loves fire trucks, Rescue Bots, and the song, "Wheels on the Bus." So, I make it happen, I remix the song to his liking. I made up a fire truck, Rescue Bot version of the song. The blooper to this, he corrects anyone that sings, "Wheels on the Bus," that it is REALLY, "Wheels on the Fire truck." It you don't know the words to the remix version, whoa, watch out, crazy toddler tantrum. I mean think about it, no one really wants to ride a bus. #remixesarebetter
I hope you have a memorable Mother's Day tomorrow. Cheers! For all the funny things you do while navigating this crazy course, called motherhood.
