FIRST AID BADGE: You never know when a boo-boo will strike. Playground, grocery store, Dr's office, front yard...you just never know. I have the typical "getcha cleaned up and back outside" kit in the bathroom, but I'm not the mom that carries the alcohol wipes, band-aids, gauze, Tylenol, OFF, or the key chain neosporin with me. I do however at this exact moment have a few Germ-X wipes in my purse only because we went to the petting zoo the other day and EWWW...zebra and donkey spit mixed with goat and cow snot is gross! Even if you are a farmers son! So I need to work on this badge. You can bet that if we were somewhere though I will snap a picture of said boo-boo!!
LULLABY BADGE: "Tinkle tinkle little staaaar" is at the top of his list right now. But what about all the other ones? Itsy Bitsy Spider, Rock a bye baby..the list goes on. At any given moment I can burst out in song. (thank goodness these aren't given for vocal...cause I has NONE) I will admit I forget the words to some of them but hey he still dances along-So I've earned this one!
NUTRITION BADGE: He's almost 22 months old so it's safe to say that he doesn't always eat as well or as much as he should. I've said before some days are better than others. He eats and eats most of the time and then there are times goldfish and milk hold him together. Yesterday however, shortly after he woke up at 10:15am, we had leftover pizza and an hour later had a Dr Pepper float. O come on! That doesn't sound good? My organic garden has failed me this year! But today he ate 1 1/2 apples, half a sandwich, a baked potato, lemonade and cereal. So as far as this one goes I too have earned it because last night for dinner he ate 2 chips and 3 beans....and as aggravating as it is....i know he will catch up the next day.
MEMORY MAKER BADGE: If you know me, you know I have a camera in hand or in reach. "I am a picture taking fool!" I once told someone. I want the kids to know how great things were and how much fun we had. Its for all the times we may forget about and the times they are to young to remember. I have boxes of photos, a few photo albums on my bookshelf, and files upon files on the computer. Everyone knows a moment in their lives will not go unnoticed with me and my camera around. :)
GRAIN OF SALT BADGE: I myself cant stand the "O my kid did that too, only better" spill that I have gotten alot of over the past 22 months. Or the "you should do it this way" and the "I never did that with my kid(s) and they are fine" crap. Well actually your child isn't...o wait this is about Mommy Merit Badges not foul mouth mommy rants. I've learned to just let things go in one ear and out the other. I try not to be the bragger, because well other kids have their moments too!!
