Is there some secret motherhood pact that I don't know about? I swear some tidbits of raising kids aren't shared so women will continue to procreate. Or maybe I just glazed over that part of the handbook, I don't know. Anyway, my apologies if I'm breaking any mommy rules but here goes:
1) Teething = Diarrhea. Gross I know. This little wonderful little fact is especially apparent when canine teeth come in.
2) Everything I own is sticky. My pants, the floor, the coffee table, the dog, the couch. Everything gets covered in a thin layer a residual PB&J no matter how well you wash off face and hands.
3) Location matters. You wont eat that in the highchair, but you will eat it if you are on my lap? You wont sleep on that end of the rug, but the other side is fine? I cant brush your teeth in your bathroom, but its okay if we are in mine? You get the point.
4) If the stars are aligned and everything looks like you can head out the door with kid in tow, you will go out even if your outfit consist of fuzzy slippers, old yoga pants, and spaghetti-o stained, holey tank top (hey it was all clean when you got dressed that morning).
5) Kid has fingers up nose, then pets the dog, then wipes his hands over the baseboards that haven't been cleaned in weeks, then smears those hands allover your face. You let him do this because you are trying to teach him eyes, nose, and mouth. Oh the sacrifices you make to teach them things.
There are more little factoids about one year olds that I already know and I'm sure there are twice as many that I don't know. I'm having the an awesome time learning how to be the best mom that I can be. I learn something new everyday. Little G, you've totally rocked my whole world!
