Memorable Monday
Lessons I've Learned from Motherhood

Yesterday was Mother's Day and I am taking a few moments to reflect over the years that I have been a mother.  It is a very rewarding calling that comes with challenges.  I never went to motherhood school, so when the nursese placed Josh in my arms I was clueless as to where to start.  I've learned so much this past years and I wanted to write them done from my children to learn from my mistakes.

* Eggs are very hard to clean up, so hide them from young children.
* Little ones are often frightened by Santa
* Don't buy cheap Mechanical pencils
* Cakes really do need sugar
* Babies don't hold still for handprints
* Never send ice cream with a child in hope it gets to the teacher
* A weedwacker is not a toy
* Water and Dirt really do make mud
* Toddlers can fall asleep in high chairs
* Messes are easier to clean up after you take a picture to remember the occasion
* Chocoate does melt
* Check the hours a business is open before you head over.
* The garbage truck is a great alarm clock
* Spell your child's name right when you having an item engraved
* Kids can take braces off by themselves
* Don't hold your child's popsicle
* Kids will swim in any temperature
* Scissors need to be placed up high
* Nap only when your young children nap
* Car rides put babies to sleep 
* Band-aids are really just stickers
* Kids remember everything
* You're never to young to color
