Name Change!
Why the name change? I have been jonesin' for a new blog name, but has luck would have ALL of the unique names that I would come up with were/are taken. So, I guess they were not so unique after all. Anyway, for months I have been trying to think of something clever. I have even relentless bounced names off of my cool friends. Alas, it turns out that the cool and clever person in my life happens to be my umm... 2yr. old. I mean he is pretty dope but in a cute, messy, love of my life sorta way. However, he apparently has the awesome ability to remix nursery rhymes, who knew!? Let me fill you in and say that Ole' McDonald has been a fix all solution since my son was about 3 or 4 months old. He was a GREAT baby, but as any parent or caregiver knows, there are moments where nothing, and I mean NOTHING will soothe a crying child. Anyway, we were totally having one of those days when he was just a few months old, I had tried everything. Nursing, dry diaper, making sure he wasn't too hot, tried to burp him, walking around, bouncing up and down like a mad women, singing various nursery rhymes, you name it. I was doing everything I could think of and then repeating it, thinking that surely something would finally do the trick. Still, he CRIED! It was unusual for him to cry unless he was hungry or was not being held (which I did 24/7), other than that he rarely cried. So, just when I was trying to decide between whether or not I should be really concerned or downing the closest bottle of wine, I started to sing Old McDonald, and Voila! the heavens opened up, the crying stopped, and alas Ole' McMommy is born.
