1. I am still learning that if I am driving to school and marveling about how early I am going to be then I have either forgotten the boys' lunches, their shoes, and/or have my husbands' wallet in the diaper bag.
2. I am still learning that even though I have 2 stinky boys and 1 sweet girl, it is without a doubt the girl who needs more than 1 bath a day.
3. I am still learning that although we own an accomplished hunting dog, she cannot for the life of her hunt up the millions of Rice Krispies that are on the kitchen floor after each and every breakfast.
4. I am still learning that if Gigi finds a turtle on the tennis court, then I will find myself at a pet store talking to a lady (with a rat on her shoulder) about the ins and outs of turtle ownership within the hour.
5. I am still learning that if I think baby poop in the bathtub is bad, baby poop combined with little boy puke in the bathtub is worse.
6. I am still learning that when my child has a baby (even if that baby is a roly poly) I am expected to babysit and babysit well.
7. I am still learning that if my baby coughs up food on my forearm, decides to pick it up and feed it to me then I should take it as the sign of love that it is.
8. I am still learning that I should not be surprised to find candy wrappers and chocolate drool on the pillow following naps for at least a week after Easter.
9. I am still learning that even the rule follower of the family, can and will pee on a plastic chair in a carpeted playroom at a friends birthday party.
10. I am still learning that even my fully diapered 3 1/2 year old can and will decide that holding my hand around girls just isn't cool.
11. I am still learning that on any given shopping trip, I shouldn't be surprised to return to the car and find at least one door completely wide open.
Lucky for me, one thing I did learn a long time ago is that each and every day with these little rugrats is an absolute blessing.
A crazy, chaotic, and exhausting blessing but a blessing nonetheless. : )
