lessons learned
ok. here's the place where i remind you my little sweet cherub will be 1 in a week. As in, May 11th. and don't make me mention the forceps. poor steven will of course be reminded of this fact each and every time he misbehaves, so i won't waste that guilt on you, dear blogee. it is only now, a mere 51 weeks later that i can look at kitchen tongs and not grimace. i have learned a few tricks along the way, which might have taken me longer than the average mom, but i ain't no average mom.
Parental unit 101
1. if this was the 60s, i would have been such a major hippie.
i won't gross you out with my lack of showering and shaving, or the new
found acceptance of breastfeeding in public, but boy do i love me a tunic.
and yes, i bought 4 this spring. Hip-PEE-KAY!
2. don't empty the dishwasher while baby is sleeping.
3. always remember to quickly wash shite stained onesies thrown down the laundry chute.
4. schedules aren't required for a totally happy baby.
5. co-sleeping is the best thing that ever happened to my MAY 2005.
6. I never really enjoyed am coffee chats with random coworkers in the kitchen, but boy do i crave some adult conversations in the am.
7. grabbing a hard poop log out of a baby's bumhole, can uncork the motherload.
8. every other mom thinks everyone has it all together, no one does.
9. getting out of the house at least ONCE a day is mandatory.
10. sudoku keeps a brain active while breastfeeding.
Steven jr has a thing for moose a. moose on noggin, oh the joys of pre-school crushes. I admit that I will put him in his pen and turn on-demand noggin on and run around and get after my daily chores. because of that and the fact that noggin repeats the moose skits over and over, steven jr is stuck on the letter b. he can go for 15 minutes straight blurbing b-words. blubba-blubba-bricka-bricka-baa-baaa-byeee. seriously. and instead of going all insane parent on him for not moving on to the other equally enjoyable letters, i join him in B-land. it's fun. bricka-bricka-booo to you! enjoy your thursday, i will be watching people install my new hardwood floor all day. i won't assume men, since a gal ran my wagon through the inspection line at shell tuesday. days til steven jr's first haircut: 1, time of appointment: 12:30, days til steven jr's cake plate is ready: 1, cost of steven's 1st birthday cake: $66.
