Parenting: A Constant Learning Experience
From the day my firstborn came into the world, kicking and screaming, I started learning. Being a mom is hard, but what`s the point if you don`t let your little ones teach you a few lessons along the way and stop to enjoy life a little?
Kids are definitely a challenge, but I wouldn`t trade my boys for anything in the world. And here are the top ten lessons I`ve picked up from my children . . . since they`re only 3 and 2, I expect there will be thousands more in years to come!
Kids are definitely a challenge, but I wouldn`t trade my boys for anything in the world. And here are the top ten lessons I`ve picked up from my children . . . since they`re only 3 and 2, I expect there will be thousands more in years to come!
1. Life is better when you share it with someone special
2. Try new stuff even if you`re scared
3. Life`s short, eat cake for breakfast!
4. Sometimes it`s good to let it all out
5. Don`t be afraid to be silly
Scribbled Eggs: Kids' Quotes To Crack You Up
Amazon Price: $16.00 (as of 12/21/2009)
We can all use a laugh and this book is full of funny things kids say. But once you`re finished laughing . . . you`ll realize that kids really do have something to teach us grownups!
6. Save a little something for later
7. Don`t be afraid to make new friends
8. The best learning doesn`t come from books
9. Everyone needs a time out sometimes
10. A little dirt never hurt anyone

- The older one has his dad's eyes, the little guy was born with blue eyes, but they've gone kind of greeny brown . . . mine are green. So I guess he's a mix. :)

- Nice Blast-off Rocket-Mom! So cute!!! We have kept a family stories book and each time a child or anyone in the family says or does something funny, we go write it in the book! You forget those little things SO fast! Thanks for the smile. 5 stars!

- I have 4 adopted children from China and I think that parenting is the best gift that God ever gave people. The neatest lesson I've learned from my kids is learning all about the world all over again. It is remarkable to have to explain EVERYTHING in child friendly language. You learn how much you really do know!!

- Beautiful children - you are right to be so proud. What have my children taught me? Never to take them for granted. My 7 year old son was very sick when he was born so I know how you feel about that. They are all so precious and we are lucky to have them

- Loved this lens... it just put a smile on my face. So cute #6 - save a little for later... that photo is priceless. I've learned from my twins to just pick myself up, dust myself off, and try it again.

- Great lens! Great photos! As they say - "out of the mouth of babes..."! As the mother of 3 - 19, 11, & 9 - you will learn plenty more lessons, but these are the important ones! Remember them when they are teens!
