A Few Things...

A few things I have learned from Austin and Paige.......

1. Toilet water attracts 1 and half year olds, which in turn attracts their older sibling.

2. Dish washing fluid on your kitchen floor, will require at least 5 mops in order to not slip

3. A child's scream can and will bring on an instant headache.

4. Crayons and markers will come off the walls with the magic eraser but so will your paint.

5. A new movie should be played 30 times in a row, until a 4 year old is satisfied.

6. Puddles attract new white sneakers.

7. The toy a child plays with will always be more appealing to the sibling, and will result in cries and fights.

8. The word NO is not comprehensible unless the child is saying it to you.

9. Something expensive you buy for yourself, will be touched by a child within 3.5 seconds of them seeing it.

10. Poop is not a good finger paint to use.

11. Your children will always make you look like a liar to strangers when it comes to a certain behavior.

12. A child always poop's right after a diaper change.

13. Hugs and Kisses are always sincere

14. The first time your child tells you they love, it will bring tears.

15. Watching your child get vaccinations will bring tears to your eyes.

Please feel free to share things that you learned from your kids/spouses/siblings.

What have I learned from the kiddos? More than there's room for here!

But most of all, I have learned patience. It takes lots and lots of patience. They're gonna drive you crazy some times.

The other big one is that no matter what you do, they're going to be horrified at it!!
