Lessons learned

Memere and Grandpa Ron came for a visit and the kids stayed home from daycare with them yesterday. From the sound of it, fun was had by all. I think all four of them will have a blast when the kiddos go there in a week and a half.

Finn's ear was still causing him some discomfort last night, but I'm hoping it is better today since he will be at daycare all day. Today is Korri's first day at daycare with her new glasses...I hope they don't get broken or lost!

I don't know if it is because I've been away from my kids more than I want to be or what, but I've been self-reflecting more than normal lately...mainly on parenting but also on life! Here are a few of the many thoughts I wrote down.

Lessons learned:

1. If you ask a yes/no question, the answer will be no.

2. Going to the bathroom by yourself with the door shut…is not a right, it’s a privilege.

3. The two most beautiful sounds in the world: Your child singing a favorite nursery rhyme (Hey Diddle Diddle at our house!) and your child giggling uncontrollably.

4. “Why?” isn’t a question, it is a way of life.

5. Things happen. Whether or not they are “bad” and get you down is based on your chosen attitude and how you respond.

I have more that I will share, but feel free to comment on them or add some of your own!
