Things I never knew I'd do
10 Things I never thought I'd do as a mother:
1) Argue with my 2 year old about whether I am a girl or a boy (she insists "Mommy BOY!")
2) Unapologetically leave my 8 week old in his car seat next to the washing machine (works great to put him to sleep and he'll sleep for hours!)
3) Try to convince my 2 year old that the alphabet song doesn't stop "t, u, v" but finishes with "x, y, and z" (she keeps insisting that mommy is singing it wrong)
4) Explain to the same 2 year old that she can't breastfeed her 8 week old brother NOR can she brush his hair, put chap stick on his lips, feed him her cereal, or sit on his lap.
5) Watch my husband put my 2 year old in time out after she threw a temper tantrum screaming, "MOMMY PLEASE POKE Amy's eyes, MOMMY PLEASE POKE Amy's eyes." The tantrum was triggered after she attempted to poke daddy's eyes and was informed that we don't poke other people's eyes. And for the record, I have never even played like I was poking her eyes....
6) Sleep on the couch in the living room with my husband so I wouldn't be kept awake by my 8 week old son who is sleeping in my room.
7) Clap and cheer in a public restroom while my daughter successfully poops in the potty.
8) Read a story book so many times I can repeat it word for word with my eyes closed.
9) Use and love cloth diapers
10) Be more in love with my children than I ever imagined.
