Just in case you were wondering...

I think I really do learn something new everyday. Here is a sample of my new-found pearls and gems of wisdom. Just in case you were wondering.















*Having your 3 year-old feed the baby will not save you time. In fact, it will take you three times as long to bathe the baby, change his clothes, and clean the oatmeal out of his ears than if you had just fed him yourself to begin with.



* A gallon of milk, if dropped at just the right angle, can empty itself in approximately 2.5 seconds. Which is also approximately the amount of time it takes you to realize that you dropped the milk to begin with.







* Baking with your child can be a great way to be productive and have quality time together. As long as you make sure he's not picking his nose while your back is turned.


* As mommies, we really will do anything for a good picture. As displayed by my friend Esther at the mall.



* Many people have told me if your child won't pick up their toys to take them away for a period of time. However, this trick doesn't always work. I'm thinking that when your child helps you bag them up, holds the door for you to take them out, and then never asks about them again, that it wasn't effective.

Very funny...I especially like the last one about the toys...that is hilarious. When I watch the video of Santa just sitting there while I'm working my tail off for a smile; I can't help but hope he doesn't get paid more than minium wage:) He's amazing with children--ha ha
