I Know: Baby Suits

-
I know that because you say "Mama mama mama" all of the time you secretly like me better than your Dad

 I know that when you grunt and your face turns red, you're working on a diaper surprise 

I know that when when you babble, laugh and play I want 10 more just like you

 And when you try to flop out of the baby carrier, wake up at midnight and scream if I don't feed you quickly enough, I know that you might do ok as an only child

 I know that Grandma will have so much fun with you for a month in December 

When your Dad turns the heat on at the end of October, a month earlier than usual, I know that you're his favorite

 When I look at you closely: your toes, your eyelashes and even your cute butt, I know that God made you perfectly in my belly.

 I know that every time the 11th comes you are one month closer to turning 1

I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
