Crazy toddler

We're sitting in Too Jay's restaurant for dinner with Jen, Noah and kids, plus Noah's mom Joanne. We are the youngest table in here, which is good because the 3 kids are yapping and screaming and being "the kids in the restaurant you want to avoid."  My ears are ringing, the hand sanitizer is flowing as Caelen is touching EVERYTHING...and then I stopped freaking out about the noise, germs and bad children in the restaurant behavior because I realized, this is everything I prayed for last year. All of this, the good, the bad, the ill behaved. Every single second of it. Caelen is everything I dreamed and wished for, and he's here next to me, throwing Cheerios and saying  "mommy, mommy, mommy" times infinity. 

And I'm grateful.
