Things that I Have Learned from My Child

The Early Months - One Day to One Year

No matter how much you like your Oreo, make sure you offer to share it with EVERYONE else in the room.

Milk doesn't only do the body good, it does the same for the wall, the carpet, work clothes, that cute new outfit and the couch.

No matter how sick you feel you need to play hard, laugh, vomit and do it all over again...without complaint.

Vomiting all over another person has to be the funniest thing in the world...until you need to do it again and realize that it doesn't feel that great.

No matter how many times you hear " i love you mommy" it never gets old.

Playing in the toilet is apparently the "in" thing.

Bath time is all about fun. Duckies, and water, and splashing and playing. Getting clean is secondary.

Jumping up and down on your bed for 3 minutes is equivilant to 10 minutes of extreme cardio.

A warm blanket out of the dryer is the ultimate prize.

Juice is good all times of the day, especially at 2am when Mommy has finally gotten to sleep.

If you cry, they will come.

Love someone no matter what, and the feeling will be returned.
