My Learning Curve Part ii
I continue to learn more and more each day about this whole mommy thing. Most days are filled with pure joy, while others, I feel like a defeated dodgeball player. Here are some of the latest and greatest things I’ve learned…
1) Kids will stick anything in their nose. I’m going to assume she learned this from school. She learned to say Shhhhh. They do this to quiet everyone down… but when she does this, she doesn’t put her finger over her mouth… she sticks her finger in her nose and says Shhhhhhh. This is just one of the things she does that involves sticking items in her nose. I’ll spare you the details. In the meantime, I’m teaching her that things are only suppose to come out of the nose… not in the nose..
2) Kids like to reorganize. I’ll let these examples speak for themselves…
- I found the remote control to our ceiling fan in my make-up bag.
- I found my mascara stuffed in one of her socks underneath her crib.
- I opened the bottom drawer of the oven to get a cookie sheet and found a sippy cup filled with curdled milk.
- Please note: M knows the oven is Hot and Bad. Just wanted to clear that up 😉
3) Meal time looks like a war zone. I’ll just leave it at that…
4) I keep my purse clean of any sharp and potentially dangerous objects… because a purse can serve as a toy and prevent any spur of the moment tantrums.
I promise next time I’ll focus more on the Pure Joy thing 😉
In case you missed Part i of my learning curve, here it is.
As for now… M’s currently rearranging all the magazines in our magazine rack… gotta go!
Have a great day 🙂
I am seriously laughing hysterically at her sticking her finger in her nose and saying Shhhhh. Ha!
So I guess you’ll have to keep the mace and the switchblade in your pockets from now on, eh? lol
Haha! Yes, I have to keep the mace out of sight 😉
He he. A sippy cup full of curdled milk in the oven drawer? Yum. I guess kids really force you to mellow out.
lol aw, i’d imagine having a little one is full of lots of surprises! amazing what kids can learn from each other…
i can’t tell you how many times a purse has been used to calm a kid down…crazy!
Haha, this made me laugh. Love it. 🙂
What a muffin. I can barely stand how flippin cute she is!
I can relate to all of this – especially the meal time and purse parts!
Gosh, I hear ya on all of this. Max likes to break things and always has. He does not do it to be mean, he just wants to know how far something will go before it hits it’s breaking point. I still can’t get him to stop messing with the backs of remotes and he is almost 10!
I love these posts! Keep ’em coming. 🙂
Oh yes! The purse is a perfect toy! LOL And I find things in strange places all the time. Keeps life interesting. 😉
Haha, I love this! Prep for motherhood 🙂
I must have a 2year old crawling around in my house somewhere! I found my cell phone in the freezer the other day. That’s where it went….
Although this sounds a bit scary, I am totally psyched for mommyhood 🙂 Thanks for making it sound blissfully scary!
I found curdled milk more times than I would like to remember…I still remember the smell!!
She certainly is keeping you on your toes, isn’t she? LOL!
