What I am learning.... page 837.

1. "No" may be a word that is said often by a cute 18-month-old, but that does not mean that she also understands said word when it is spoken to her. I think I may go get her ears checked.

2. Said cute toddler loves to climb on everything EXCEPT the time-out stool. This device she steers clear of.

3. Holding is only for times when my hands are completely full and I am trying to get things done. Walking is for crowded parking lots, grocery stores and any other spot where holding would be a lot better option. If I accidently forget preference and try to object, crying loudly ensues. Followed by dirty looks from Hannah and bystanders who are wondering why I am holding my screaming, wiggling child upside down through the parking lot.

4. Speaking of grocery stores and parking lots, shopping carts are no longer fun and interesting. However, what is fun and interesting is climbing out of shopping carts, standing in shopping carts, and trying to touch anyone who tries to walk by the shopping cart that is currently occupied.

5. The longer a meal takes to be prepared, the worse it tastes to a cute 18-month-old. Chicken ravioli and twice baked potatoes= garbage. Goldfish and poptarts= delightful!

6. Naptime is bliss... but not when it is for only 1 hour.

Can you tell we've had a rough morning? It's a good thing she's cute.
