Bed Wetting at 330am!

So my 3 year old has been going through some bed wetting issues lately...
In the last 2 weeks he has probably wet the bed 4 times! I should be putting a pull up on him, but he is not a fan!
The other morning I got my wake up call at approximately 335am. Poor little guy came running in our room all wet and flustered :( Usually I nudge Micah (cause that guy could sleep through anything), but it was my turn... So I quickly ripped off his pjs from his cold, wet body and ran the tub with some warm soapy water. Plunked him in and away I went to clean up his bed and toss his sheets down the stairs (of course to be washed in the morning). I felt like I was trying to race the clock. The quicker I did this, the sooner I would be resting back on my pillow for a couple more hours... sleeeeeep :) Something I am sure we could all use more of!?? Anyways, as I am running around my house trying not to be loud and realizing I still had hardly said a word to my poor little one, he looked up at me with some tears in his BIG brown eyes and said.... "Mommy, I love you SO much"
It then hit me, in all this craziness of rushing and being bothered, my son was teaching me a lesson. He was showing me gratitude and unconditional love, just like our father gives to us each and every day. Although I preferred to be in zzz land, tears poured down my cheeks as I sat on the toilet by my sweet little boy. Savour EVERY moment even if it is a 4am wake up call!

To lie or to fib? That is the question!

So today my very smart 5 year old Rocco, was trying to find my ipod to listen to. I use it for the gym or when I go for a run, so I do have to admit that there may be some inappropriate songs for a 5 year old or maybe even a 30 year old!! He particularly likes one song by pink, so I occasionally let him listen to it! So today he tells me he needs my ipod headphones to listen to his tag reader (leap frog) so it won't be SO loud.... RIGHT!! I tell him where the ipod is hiding so he could get the headphones... Turns out he wants the ipod! Anyways I asked him why he lied to me about needing the headphones for the tag reader...., "mommy, I wasn't lying, I was fibbing!" "please don't say I was lying, that is SO bad!". Is there really a difference between a lie and a fib? I guess it just sounds better!
