Things I learned This Week II

1) Do not lose your concentration.......
( ok, so I started this and then went off and .......made and served dinner, gave the girls a bath, read stories , sang songs, fed a bottle, warmed up something for Richard)

2) What i ment to say was....do not lose your concentration while running on a tredmill, you most likely will not fall completely off, but you will scare " your poops out" as we Kotulas say, and it isn't so nice when the old lady on the tredmill next to you gives you the " you silly oaf" look.

3) Do not allow your child to quickly slide in behind an automatic door. These marvels of science are not equipped with a child safety mechanism of any kind. The door will not stop opening and your child will be squashed ( but not hurt) between the door and the wall. The door will make very scary loud robotic strangling sound likes its trying to grind your child between its teeth. ( grrrr whirrrrr grrrr whirrrrr)

4) If you can't find your hair gel just ask your snot faced child to wipe her nose in your hair, she will gladly ablige ( she was going to anyway).

5) Children will repeat anything they hear, mostly if it has to do with a bodily function. So if your daughter gets pooped on by a bird, expect for her to tell everyone ( for the next week as least) that she has poop in her hair.

6) Its ok if you are traveling down the road and the song being sung in the back is " Where is Thumbkin" , and you are at the tall man verse. Do not worry about the passing cars that your child is unknowingly flipping off. If they are offended, then they need to get a life, and if they laugh and wave knowingly, they have a life.
" How are you today Sir? Very well I thank you, run away run away"

7) My daughter has a borse. A real horse. She is also friends with a giant. I learned this week to knock before entering the bathroom, cause I almost hit the giant with the door.

8) Squinty eyed fake crying will not receive encouragment through hugging and smooching, it sure is CUTE though.
