We've been learning some important lessons in the Miller household. Here are 10 of the best:
E does not wake up crying in her big girl bed.
Neither does she wake up and stay in her bed. Or her room.
But a toddler stumbling sleepily down the hall is one of the cutest things.
Mommy does not share E's interest in playing with dead beetles no matter how cute E is when she offers them. But she appreciates that E no longer tries to eat them.
After learning the previous lesson, Mommy may or may not have taught E to point and stare at any bug from a distance until somebody comes and takes it away. One step closer to making my girl a girly girl. Crap.
How to clean up your language: Get a toddler. "Crap" sounds like "clap" and they will grin & clap vigorously every time you say it.
E has a strange and constantly changing diet. One day only bread and bananas are acceptable, the next she won't touch a banana but eats a massive lunch of broccoli, pickled beets, okra, and spicy rice & beans.
Hello four dirty diapers the next day.
E can cook dinner. One-handed. While holding her baby. She did put the finished product (peas, hamburger bun, and drumstick) in the dishwasher instead of the oven... but hey! With a little more practice, she'll be ready to keep things up and running this winter while Mommy recovers on the couch.
Our tub doesn't leak; E drinks the bath water.
Vans > cars. Embrace the soccer mom style.
Waffles taste fine without the oil but stick after about the 3rd one. Pancakes taste fine-ish without baking powder. One of us messed up the recipe, the other messed up the shopping list. We're made for each other. <3
Contrary to popular opinion, our dryer is not broken. Nor did Husband turn up the heat setting and shrink all our clothes. I am getting fatter.
