(These were all taken from a mommy forum I am a part of. All of our kids were due in Oct. of 2006 and were born b/w August-November 06. They were too funny NOT to share with you all!)
1. Just when you think you won't be "one of those moms" whose kid has a melt down in public......you are.
2. All Christmas Tree ornaments must begin about 2 feet up from the bottom.
3. When he is quiet.....something must be up. Check him.
4. The minute you leave home without a diaper, even to just run to the store down the street, he will poop.
5. All the hugs, kisses, smiles, and sillyness will make you laugh AND cry AND realize your baby is growing up.
6. Just when you think you have stashed away all pacifiers....He will come out of the room with one in his mouth and smile, then run from you.
7. Those legs may be short, but she can climb onto anything. ANYTHING.
8. The cat looks better with pasta on its back.
9. Arching your back and letting out an ear-piercing "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" can land you about anything you want.
10. It feels better to poop into a FRESH diaper than one that's a teensy bit wet.
11. "I" is universal for "HI" and "Bye". Kind of like "Aloha."
12. A tiny, 4" bobbing ponytail on top of a little girl's head can make you forget what you were upset about.
13. No matter what I am eating or when, I must share.
14. That standing in the bath tub is much more fun than sitting in it.
15. No matter how many times he climbs and falls off the same thing, he will continue b/c it's fun!
16. Toys that are scary are fine to play over and over again if mom is there to hold onto!
17. That no matter how good mom might think the food is, it tastes sooo much better directly on the tray instead of a plate.
18. One way or another, those little hands WILL find their way into the toilet!
19. "No, no, no" is a fascinating word.
20. Sometimes they just NEED to be held. All the time. No matter what. Especiallly if you were planning to actually accomplish something.
21. They will surprise you with sweet messy kisses and tight leg-crushing baby hugs.
22. You can let him play on his own and become independent, but he will always look for you to see if you are watching
23. While out shopping all toys in his stroller will be out of the stroller, and back in the stroller, and back out of the stroller, and back in the stroller.....
I am sure there will be plenty more that we will learn as we venture more and more into toddlerhood!! If you have something your toddler has taught you, leave a comment, and maybe, just maybe I will add it on a later date!

okay...so this one isn't funny although I could probably write a book on what my 2 boys have taught me and would laugh the whole time but this morning I told Zyon I Love You and I swear on my life he tried to say I love you back....at least in his own language. So mine is Being a mommy to a toddler has taught me that even when you think you toddler will never be that sweet innocent child again he will, in his own language, tell you I love you....and you will remember that he will always be that sweet innocent child no matter what kind of things he can get into or do to his big brother.
That was good Anna! THANKS! and so sweet!! I can't WAIT for the day Luke says that to me or Brandon. :)
