(By Little People, I mean my kids and not ACTUAL little people)
Kids teach us so much. You may not even realize it, but every moment you interact with them, you are learning – about them, and about yourself. But once your children get old enough and big enough to move around your home freely, independently and with purpose – its a whole other set of rules. Prepare to be schooled!
What I’ve learned from little people:
- I will NEVER have a clean house again. (At least not for more than an hour at a time)
- I have learned every possible word that can be used to describe one’s bodily functions (according to little people), and evidently, every single one is absolutely hysterical (to them).
- I have become their human barf bib.
- Skid marks will never shock me again.
- Stepping on a piece of Lego in bare feet is equivalent to the pain experienced during childbirth.
- The joy of outright swearing will be lost forever, and replaced with spelling out your profanity. (D-A-M-M-I-T!)
- Once your kids can spell, you will be subjected to speaking in code and death stares (Believe me, not as effective, or enjoyable).
- Mealtimes will result in the loss of clumps of hair (Mommy’s, NOT the children’s).
- You will be tired forever and ever, and then some more.
- Toy commercials have devastating consequences to a mommy’s wallet.
- You will be wiping little people butts for YEARS, so get used to it.
- Caffeine is my best friend, and her name is Starbucks
- Parenting is riding the emotional roller coaster that never ends.
- Bedtime is the HAPPIEST time of the day.
- Have you seen the movie Groundhog Day? Oh right, you’re living it.
But its okay, don’t you worry. I have the answer baby.
You got to FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT!
It works.
Trust Me.
