So before I started blogging I wrote in a journal almost every night. Just recapping my day or week because it all goes by so quickly and little things that happen or are said can be easily forgotten. After every entry I ended with what my kids had taught me that particular day or week. So I'm going to recap some for you!
Here goes~~~
1.) When your son tells you he wants a brother and you respond with "well if I have another baby I can't promise you it would be a boy" you had better be ready for HIS response. Which was..."I didn't say you had to have a baby mom we can just buy one, I don't care what color you get!" (Chase, when we found out Sidney was a girl).
2) When you think your little boy is little, put him in a football uniform.......you'll want to pick him up and run with him off of the field!
3) A big sister might get annoyed and slap, pinch, poke, bite her little sister but if another kid tries to do it, the gloves are coming off!!! Liv physically removed another girls hand from her sister this past summer! It was a proud moment!
4) Thank goodness for crayola washable markers! They really do wash off, this includes but is not limited to...clothing, tables, floors, refrigerators, tvs and little sisters! Chase tattoed Olivia from head to toe! And yes they were actually playing "tattoo place"
5) Lip gloss really is non-toxic~ I had just bought a tube and Liv found it in the car at one of Chases football practices and proceeded to suck the gloss out of the entire tube! Note to self......no more flavored lip gloss!
6) Wearing a bicycle helmet only helps it to not hurt if you aren't purposely driving your bike into things.........over and over and over again! So weird!
7) Farting truly is the funniest thing ever...........all of my kids laugh and announce it no matter where we are and you really can't help but laugh
8)You know that you are out of touch with style when your $100 pair of shoes are found our your 2 and 3 year olds feet more than yours and they walk better in them!
9) Washable little girls nail polish IS NOT SO WASHABLE. Not unless you see it spilled and get it then but WHO SEE'S IT SPILLED!??!! The makers should be flogged!
10) Little girls can look like Rocky. Next time you see my girls pay attention to thier pretty little chipped front teeth smiles! BOTH OF THEM!
11) Competitevness is inherited and not learned!! Chase on the baseball tournament: "We would have beat them had we not had to play 4 games in a row in this F*%^'ing heat!" I let it slide just that once! He was right!
12) Cursing is never ok but there are times that it just is appropriate. EX: I was taking something from the top of the laundry room closet when a can of stain fell and hit me in the foot. I was jumping up and down, holding my foot and also holding my breath in order to not let the words fly out of my mouth in front of my almost 3 y/o daughter. When she puts her little hand on my arm and says: "Momma......is it a son of a bitch?" Just all concerned. To which I answered.....'Yes sweetie it really is!"
13) When your sons start drenching themselves in Axe body gel, shampoo, and body spray.....thats when you know they have noticed girls!
14)Never, Never, Never, let more than 2 minutes go by when you can't hear your children.. Any more than that just means a mess for you!!
15) Also, NEVER NEVER NEVER show your son how to pick a locked door with a small screwdriver. He will eventually do it to your bedroom door!!!
16.) Don't underestimate the power of the movie Charlottes Web....Kids love it and will sit and watch it over and over. But thank goodness for the real animal version, that cartoon pig is so whiney that you hope he gets turned into bacon!
17) If you don't pick up your house before or after the kids are in bed, your just wasting your time! Again, its like shoveling in a snowstorm, there is absolutely no point! Just let it go no matter how crazy it makes you!
18) It doesn't matter how old they are even the littlest girls get crushes on their older brothers friends. Liv has been IN LOVE with the same boy for 2 years now. He knows who he is!
19) Girls are in fact just as strange if not stranger than little boys. Never did my son, play with his poop, eat whatever he found on the floor, LICK the floor, eat dog food, eat lotion (can we say pica) play in the toilet, stick tampons up his nose, I mean the list goes on and on and my girls have done all of this!
20) Savor evey moment, even though you were told it would go fast you never understand it until you're here!
