Mommy Can't Read!
Well, in fact, she can. And that was the problem. Trying to get some quiet time out of my non-napping toddler this afternoon, I picked up a magazine while Liam was playing with a puzzle on the floor. And then Mr. Tired Guy lost it. He ran over to me crying, "Mommy can't read!"
Too tired to immediately grasp what he meant, I took the literal meaning of his words and responded, "Well, sure I can, honey!" At which point several puzzle pieces were tossed on my magazine, and a tired little boy climbed in my lap. He looked up with a smile and said, "Mommy can't read. Baby needs Mommy now."
Aw, now I get it, sweetie. And I definitely can't read, not when you need to cuddle.

Yep! There is no fulfulling of personal needs or whims when the toddler has equally pressing ones.

Adorable! And there is nothing like that quiet cuddle time. Soon enough they'll want nothing to do with us. (At least then we'll be able to read? LOL.)
