1. Feeding a baby pureed beets will most definitely have an effect on contents emerging from the business end of said baby in the near future.
2. Always tell the babysitter when you've fed the baby pureed beets.
3. No matter how tall or fast you are, the baby will get to the crumbs on the floor before you.
4. I guarantee you, your toddler can open the dryer door. That's why your skirts are still wet.
5. Don't tell the baby what time you went to bed the night before. She doesn't care.
6. No, your perfume does not mask the scent of spit-up. And spraying it directly into your armpits only works for a few hours. And marginally at that.
7. The baby really does wait to pee until you've removed the diaper. He likes that face you make when you're running for cover. The squeal's fun, too.
8. A baby's cry is on the momma frequency during the night. It's like a dog whistle, the daddy can't hear it. But oddly enough the other children in the house can.
9. Don't wear white shirts until your children are 10 years old. Black is slimming, and the pb&j doesn't show. Neither does juice, coffee, spaghetti, ketchup...
10. I know that if something happened to one of my children, I'd cherish every stain. I'd look back with longing to a time when I could spend an hour alone with the baby each night. I'd dig through the laundry hoping to find a blanket that still has spit-up on it. I'd remember every frustrating moment and guard the memories of them carefully, knowing I wouldn't change a single thing.
