| taken from a mommy forum. my favs are #7 & #25. enjoy!  Words of wisdom.
For many of us, its too late. For some, this may act as birth control.
The following came from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas.
THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY CHILDREN...(HONEST AND NO KIDDING):
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3 year olds voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6. The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already too late.
8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9. A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
10. Certain LEGOs will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old.
11. Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.
12. Super glue is forever.
13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15. VCR's do not eject Peanut Butter &Jelly sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.
19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like hot ovens.
20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5 minute response time.
21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth worms dizzy.
22. It will however make cats dizzy.
23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24. The mind of a six year old is wonderful. First Grade.....true story:
25. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home.
She read, "...And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'"
The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?"
One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said 'Holy S*#!! A talking pig!'"
The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes
26. A 2 yr old will climb a dog cage & use a dog choke chain to put in a hole in the circuit box.
27. The hospital will look at you funny if you bring the same 2 yr old back to the hospital less than a week later because a hamster bit her in the hand.
28. A 2 yr old and a 4 yr old can completely cover a 12 x 12 ft floor with exactly 3 ounces of apple juice but it takes a whole bucket of water to clean up that 3 ounces.
30. A 2 yr old can climb to any height if cookies are involved. | | |
| i never thought that this would happen to me, my daughter had such easy bowel movements ... but my son is a poo machine. he poos almost every other meal (he eats every 1.5 hrs). sometimes it's small, others it's big and at times he waits until you've removed the dirty diaper and in the process of slipping the new diaper under him to release his shooting poo (and pee). sigh.  i know it's totally unenvironmental, but it's times like these i'm thankful for disposable diapers. i found out about a new product on the market from the baby signs ppl .... it's a potty training kit to teach ur child to potty train before they are 2 ... before they can talk. think of all the diapers i wouldn't hafta change.  think of all the times i wouldn't hafta run after a toddler trying to wipe up the poo and get a new diaper on them. i know it's possible cuz my cousin was trained before she was 2 ... but she could talk. and apparently according to the baby signs ppl, before disposable diapers, it was more common to train before 2. and it's supposedly easier to train before 2 cuz they're not yet at the terrible 2 stage where they are trying to carve out their independance. hmmm...... i really wanna try it. it's a lil over 300 HKD, but if it works on 2 babies, it would totally be worth it. i'd be saving tons of money.  my daughter knows a few signs, but it took her a long time to learn just those. however, i've been playing a dvd that teaches baby signs, and she seems to be picking up a bit faster now. i'm gonna go to the library and get some books to teach her more. if she learns fairly quickly, then i'm definitly gonna try to potty train her. i'm so excited! is that weird? | | |
| ... I would not want to go thru pregnancy, labor and delivery again. i would definitly take the adoption route. i would name the girl Audrey (after Audrey Hepburn) and i would name the boys Landen, Shane and Caleb (cuz I like these names). i guess i'm more picky about girls. | | |
| "The muscles at the top of your uterus apply a force comparable to a weight of 55 pounds during each contraction. This shows how much force must be applied to resistant muscles to open the cervix and push the baby out of the uterus during birth." --- The Pregnancy Journal I guess this is why my abs are feeling so sore.  | | |
