enough with the cliches.

So I get it.  All those annoying parenting cliches.  They're true.  Is that why I hate them?  I've been thinking so much about the, "you won't remember what your life was like before you had a kid," one and how.  fucking.  true.  it is.  I am pretty sure it is partly true because I can't remember anything at all anymore.  I am also pretty sure it is mostly true because my life is nothing like it was before I had a kid.  I am also pretty sure it is a little true because I don't ever want my life to be like it was before I had a kid.  Who would want that?  I didn't know love then.  I know love now.  It is perfect. 

Also, when Henry and I went grocery shopping tonight I had to stop and sing songs with him in the aisles on three different occasions which was just amazing and fun and hilarious.  That never happened before I had a kid.  Well.  Maybe once when I was in college and it involved lots of well.  Never mind.  It was also awesome when Henry told the young, awkward, pimply-faced cashier that the bottle of vodka he was scanning was mom-mom's water.  Yup.  And when the cashier just looked at him Henry said loudly, "THAT'S MOM-MOM'S WATER, YUP." and nodded quite violently for emphASSis. 

Thanks, kid.  My life would be so empty without you.
