Happy 6th Month B-Day Mr. Butters!
Happy
6th Month B-Day Mr. Butters! You have discovered a lot of stuff so
far, but your parents have discovered a lot of stuff as well :
1. It takes a Chevy Suburban to tote all of your stuff whenever we go out. Too bad we own a Toyota Corolla.
2. There is no amount of laundry detergent or stain "eraser" that can totally remove sweet potato stains from a white onesie.
3. All of the toys that we have bought for you are not nearly as entertaining as rolling around in your own puke.
4. "Sleeping in" means being able to get up at 5:30 a.m. instead of 2:30 a.m.
5. Laundry becomes more time consuming when YOU are now the mom.
6. Parenting doesn't come with an instruction booklet; and if it did, it would probably be just as confusing to read as all of those instruction booklets that came with your stroller, crib, high chair, etc.
7. A baby is basically the world's youngest manic depressive.
8. Your best financial bet is investing in Pampers and Gerber
9. You can be guaranteed that your baby will pass gas (loudly) while in an elevator - with at least four other people.
10. All of these learning experiences have been totally worth it!
And soon, the childproofing will be mandatory...everywhere :) And carrying laundry baskets while negotiating those baby gates is on par with olympic hurdles!
ReplyDeleteEllen, I'm still researching the whole baby gate thing trying to find one that will keep him out of trouble and be easy for me to use at the same time. I get enough of a workout just trying to get his stroller set up and then put away.
