Gotta Love This Girl!!

If you know Taryn, like most of you who actually read this do, you will agree with me when I say there is NEVER a dull moment with this child!  She sucks up every waking moment of life and shoots it back out of every wiggly appendage and orifice she has!  (We're actually concerned she might be lactose intolerant...but that's a whole other rabbit trail no one wants to read about!)

It has taken this peace-and-quiet, order-obsessed mama an embarrassingly long amount of time to truly appreciate and enjoy our adorable "time-terrorist"...but to be fair, it took an insane amount of spankings to get there too!

But whether it's a sore-bottom day or all cuddles and sunshine, there is always laughter with this one!  Case in point...there is never a shortage of Sports Illustrated magazines in our house and lately, thanks to the Super Bowl, never a shortage of Tom Brady pics.  Now I happen to believe that a certain member of our household bears a certain resemblance to Tom Brady...and I'm not saying that I married that certain member because he looks like Tom Brady...but I'm not complaining either!

(Is it just me?!?)

Anyway, it appears that there is a genetic component to personal attraction because I'm not the only Tom Brady fan in the house.  After a few days of ogling the most recent SI cover, I informed Taryn that his name was Tom Brady.  "Yeah," she said dreamily.
"He's so handsome!" I baited her.
"Yeah...like Bro-ey."

I hope her brother remains the standard for a worthy beau when she's a dating teenager.  Until then, I plan to thank God everyday for the all the life Taryn brings to our days!
