Things we learned today...

As I'm watching Kyleigh learn as she grows, I decided to really take the day and realize everything that I am learning, too. This is what we learned today.

1. 4 hour naps are a blessing, especially after not getting a whole lot of sleep the night before.

2. It doesn't matter how big the bib is, baby food can fly everywhere!

3. It's okay to answer a knock at the door sometimes...you might just sell one of your extra junker cars, and who couldn't use a little extra cash when you are broke and need to pay some bills? Plus, I was planning on putting a "please steal me" sign on that car this week, so I'm glad this guy wanted it :)

4. Turning your regular walk into a nature walk is really fun, and collecting stuff you find for a scrapbook page later is funner.

5. This tree is crazy cool!






6. Springtime leaves are way better than fall leaves! They are still shiny, they are small, and bugs haven't had a chance to chew holes in them yet.


7. Going to the park is much more fun when you get to swing next to someone your own age and giggle the whole time! Yay for new friends!


8. Walking, and swinging, and giggling, and picnicing can really wear you out.



9. The world is full of crazy people! Thank goodness we weren't walking across that intersection when one of them drove through it and around the corner without slowing down at about 60 mph!


10. All babies have ADD, especially when they are anywhere but home. Its really fun when you go out to dinner and try to feed them liquified pears and there are people and new things everywhere. About half of it got where it was supposed to...


11. Mowing the lawn is a dirty job. Our lawn isn't very big, but it has patches of dirt that made me look like the kid with the cloud around him in the Charlie Brown comics. Good thing Aunt Gail was there so I could take a shower!


12. Baby teeth are very sharp, especially when there is only one. Thank goodness I'm not nursing!


13. This is something we've known for a while, but it still cracks me up. We love bathtime, but getting dressed is torture!


14. Pee flows faster than baby lotion....you really have to hurry faster with the lotion if you don't want to clean her up again afterwords.


15. Baby powder is faster than baby lotion, too. Especially when you squeeze the bottle...that was fun :)


16. We like bubbles, and cats, and birds, especially ducks, but we don't like bees, and car horns, and running water, and drunk people (you should see her glare at those drunk people, its kinda funny...)


17. The hour between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm is a really long time!


18. Before I forget, we also learned how to clap today! She won't clap if it's pat-a-cake, but if you clap and say "Yay!" she's right in there with ya :)


19. The couch is no longer a safe place, although, it really never was. And the floor is not as soft as it looks. :(


20. My friends are the best. I love you guys, thanks for checking up on me today :) I really am feeling better :)


21. Our day was full of ups and downs, as every day is, but going through this list helps me realize just how blessed we really are.


And last but not least...


22. I could have had a V8!
