I few things I've learned from my kids

 I've only been a Mom for 15 years and 9 months so I know I have a lot to learn.  I still don't know how to get my son to take out the garbage without being asked or how to get my kids to clean up after themselves.  I have figured out a few things though.  Some things you learn immediately upon becoming a parent, like you'll be tired for the rest of your life. Some things take time to learn like the best way to discipline your child.  Then as soon as you have figured out the best way to handle and motivate your oldest, you have another child and find out nothing that worked on your first works on your second and you have to start all over again.

So I thought I'd share a few things I've learned in my short reign as Mom.
 
As sick, fat, uncomfortable, blotted and painful as pregnancy gets it's still the easy part of motherhood.  Enjoy it!!!
 Every time I get pregnant, I will get bigger faster.  This time my waist started to expand before the pregnancy test - although I don't understand why.  If my baby is the size of a poppy seed, why I look like it's the size of a large honeydew melon.

 I'll never catch up on laundry.

 A toddler girl can go through 4 to 5 outfits a day.

 You can put a girl to bed in pajamas, and she'll wake up in a dance costume a princess dress or both.

Sometimes when I've put my boys to bed and I find Spider man, Superman or Iron man in his bed the next morning.

 A boy, on the other hand, will keep the same outfit on for days if you let him.

 He will keep a diary of everything he's eaten and played with as stains all over his shirt and pants.

 When you say it's bath time, kids will scream.
 Then, when you say it's time to get out of the bath, the same kids will scream.

 Sometimes you can't win.
 No matter how hard you try and tell yourself it's never going to happen, one day you will quote your mother.

 The first time you say it, you'll scream.

 Every time after that you'll just laugh and say, "Wow my Mom really was so smart. It all makes sense now."
 When your kids say, "That's not fair" or "That doesn't make sense" you'll smile and say, "That's what I used to say.  One day it will"  or you'll just say, "That's okay. I'm the mom, and I said so!"
