But after that I started getting the hang of it & I LOOOOVE being a mom now. And I was told since the age of 15 that I might never be able to get pregnant, so I knew that & accepted that & never felt a great need to have a baby. But God gave us this miracle named Joseph & I am soooo glad that He did.Frau Guten Taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653229285252138595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-84703921988394737232010-05-20T15:07:49.652-04:002010-05-20T15:07:49.652-04:00lol!!!

YUCKY.<br />M has only done it once.<br />My friend had that same thing happen to her and she ended up calling the police who broke into her car for her. <br />My mom always tells me to have a spare set of keys in my purse and I always scoff at her. I think she is right (but don't tell her)<br />Little M has walked into the footboard of our bed more times than i can count- i'm never sure if the big bruise is a new one or ahealing one! The darn thing is perfect height for her to wonk her forehead! isn't mommyhood grand?BusyMammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268925608611113676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-10524431275216286782010-05-19T07:23:46.343-04:002010-05-19T07:23:46.343-04:00Kady:

('nuff said!) It was disgusting. <br /><br />I learned not to let her play with the keys only after she'd lost them somewhere in the house. Ha. <br /><br />Oh, and I have a timeliness issue as well. I am ALWAYS forgetting something. Argh!

I haven't locked my kid in the van yet (though I've stood there chatting with a friend unaware that he was bawling his eyes out inside - apparently Hondas are very soundproof), but the bathtub floaters are a common occurrence.

Something about the relaxing warm water maybe. Drove us nuts. We said we didn't know if we had the filthiest tub in town (pooped in every day), or the cleanest tub in town (scrubbed with comet and HOT water every day). I'm glad that's over, esp since she's 14 years old now. ;)<br /><br />My friend had the key thing happen to her, too. The house was locked up, though, so she had to break a window in the house to get in and get the spare car key. She cut her arm, but thankfully not badly. SCARY. I guess the good advice to pass on to other new moms is, don't let the kids hold the keys. Period.<br /><br />We all make our mistakes, big and small. We can warn people about the mistakes we made, but they'll make their own. :)<br /><br />Oh, and as long as I'm boring you and making this all about me me me, can I tell you that my depth perception was so bad at her age, I used to fall down stairs and crash into things ALL the time, and little old ladies used to stop my mom on the street and scold her for beating me. Can you imagine how bad I must have looked to have people butt in back in the 60s? My poor mom. Poor me. I had to wear the ugliest glasses they had in the store.<br /><br />And still about me...I once had an optometrist tell me that I still had crappy depth perception, but my brain had learned to manage it. Weird, huh? I doubt that's how it is for most people.<br /><br />And can I say how ADORABLE she looks in her tutu? Totally cute. I have a niece who's really into ballet, and I think she started at about that same age. She's 5 now, I think, and still loving the tutus.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-34853918427060441692010-05-17T22:14:29.481-04:002010-05-17T22:14:29.481-04:00hah hah hah hah hah! the logs floating in the bath...hah hah hah hah hah! the logs floating in the bath! i'm surprised you never experienced that with her before; happens here in our house often..<br /><br />ttyl8erzzzzhotmommynoreply@blogger.com
