Two Weeks of Learning

I'd like to record a few things that I've learned the past few weeks. My babies are only 17 months apart, but when Sloane was born, I felt totally overwhelmed and confused all over again. I had forgotten what a newborn baby was like in a short amount of time. Hopefully if I record these experiences, I will remember them better for future reference.

*Babies will always looks very angelic on their blessing day.

*Some kids will go through a phase where they think their stuffed animals need to wear diapers.

*Iggy's gives a sundae with their Chicken Strips kids' meal. Holynd is now a huge fan of Iggy's, much to her dad's liking.



*Children learn, very early in life, how to take pictures of themselves with your camera-phone.

*Wood chips eaten at the playground will partially digest and cause much pain and crying about 12 hours later.

*Stuffed animals, which are completely submerged in the tub, can be saved by being immediately put in a spin cycle and then dried. (Thank goodness for my fancy Bounce Dryer Bar! "Bunny" came out of the dryer very soft and smelling amazing.)

*4 month olds, who are somehow fed raisins, will not be able to digest them. They will make terrible grunting sounds about 12 hours later.

*Wood chips will also cause terrible diaper rash, which will lead to children vacating their diapers and peeing all over the hallway.

*The people at Poison Control are very nice. They do not call and tattle on you to Family Services for accidentally letting your child eat your stick of deodorant.

*When children eat deodorant, they may get terrible stomach aches, until they are taken to Iggy's and given their free Sundae.

*Children who are not used to riding an escalator, may tumble down the escalator unless watched closely. (In our defense, Holynd insisted on getting on the escalator by herself.)

*4 month olds, will demand to be in their older siblings presence at all times. Older siblings are hilarious to babies.
