Keeping it Real

My friend Rebecca is on this "Keep it Real" kick. Here is an excerpt from her blog: I also have a new aim to keep it real. No, I don't want to confess all my weaknesses to you, but I don't want to be plastic either. Plastic? You know what I mean . . those plastic images we all hold up for each other to see . . . I am perfect, I have a perfect life, My kids are perfect, I can handle anything without a nervous breakdown, therapy or antidepressants, blah blah blah. Why are we thinking that we are actually expected to do everything perfectly, on-time and with a grosgrain ribbon and a hand made custom stamped card attached? Sometimes I have experienced reading a friends blog vowing to NEVER go back. I leave feeling bummed out because they just said how fabulous and wonderful their entire life is and maybe I have just had one of those mornings where I feel that had there been a nanny camera in my house with Social Services on the other end I may have just been declared an unfit mother and my living room may have been classified as a national disaster zone. I do not want to be that blog. Please tell me if I am not being real. I don't want to be negative or crude but I don't want to be plastic either. Feel free to join me on my 'Keeping it Real' campaign.

This is my favorite video of Hudson just for that reason. Most videos show the kids in all their adorableness... their milestones or just cute times. This moment is of Hudson when he was about 2 and a half. He would only nap in the car at the time, and everyday he woke up in the worst mood. This day I captured the tantrum on video to show him how silly he was being (he loves watching movies of himself). We still watch it and laugh to this day.
