I got the idea for this from Weiweisbabies... Thank you! The journaling says the things I have learned since I became a mother are... Once Daddy has said that burping and farting is funny, you can never take that back. Whoever made up the phrase 'sleeping like a baby' has never been the parent of a newborn. A toddler is strong enough to snap a pair of prescription glasses in half. You can't hide chocolate from a child. No matter how many colouring books you provide, the walls will always seem like a more attractive canvas. Even with those really expensive products, Vivid doesn't come off the walls. Or the carpet. If it's sleeping, don't wake it. You WILL regret it. You really wish you could leave them at daycare without them screaming the place down...until they don't. Baked beans and tinned spaghetti constitute a food group. Honest. If it's peaceful and quiet...something's wrong. A child can scream, seemingly without taking a breath, for more than two hours. However unlikely that sounds. Never leave the house without a key...even if you're just going to the mailbox. A two year old can lock the front door...but can't unlock it when you're standing outside in your dressing gown without a key. Those really embarrassing comments kids make in crowded public places are hilarious...until it is your child that makes them. A two year old can not tell the difference between Savlon antiseptic cream and toothpaste. Spongebob Squarepants is not conducive to quiet, well-behaved children. Nothing sounds sweeter than 'I luff you, Mummy'. Just because a story by a six year old starts off with a title like 'My Gorgeous Mum', doesn't mean the story will be at all flattering to the mother in question. You eventually end up sounding like your mother - even though you never thought you would. Children don't learn about gravity by dropping things repeatedly...they learn about the limits of patience. Very young children will stick anything in their mouths....even cat poo. There are more books about dinosaurs than you ever thought possible. A child can break an expensive toy just as easily as a cheap one. You can sleep through anything....until you have kids.
