Kid are like dogs...sort of

I remember back when the thought of having a kid was just that...a thought. One night, pre baby, I was giving my two chihuahuas a bath and I said "there's no way I can have kids. You have to feed them and bathe them every day and who has time for that!" Silly me right?

Over the years, I've noticed that the busier you are in life the more a person is able to accomplish. This reigned true when I was working, attending school, finishing papers and blogs, and interning. I felt like I had the most free time ever. I always found myself hiking or finding new trails and hanging out with friends. 

When I got pregnant, I instantly thought about all the time I would need to create in order to fit taking care of a baby into my hectic life. It's amazing how we are able to make the time for things that are important. When Jase was born, it was a major lifestyle change for sure, but in a great way. He gets fed and bathed every day! **miracle huh? 

I almost feel bad for the dogs! They barely get enough attention now, but half the time I find myself saying "no no" to them like they are Jase or yelling all three names when trying to get their attention (Chopper, no Spence...I mean Jase!!) I've also been known to slip a few times and call the crib a crate or vice versa. It's easy to mix everything up! They are so much the same in the manner of taking care of them, but they are so different too. They all pee, poop, sleep, eat, have mistakes, need their nails trimmed and get more check ups than I ever will in a lifetime!

Even though our fur babies were the original children in our house, they are outnumbered by a 15 month old that loves to chase them!
