{MIA}

I have been a bit MIA this week. However, I have learned a few things this week:

- However excited you are about the summer and busting our your white pants, you can't wear them when you have a toddler or you will end up stain-treating them to the death

- Anything you give your toddler WILL end up in the toilet

- Having your child bit by a misquito right in the middle of his forehead will make him look like a little hindu man

- When your dog drags your toddler across the room because she is winning their tug-of-war game and your son looks at you with "help me" eyes, you can chuckle before helping him

- Toddler utensils are the end of all nice clothing

- Finding a piece of spaghetti in your bra when changing for bed is a part of motherhood...I think

- It is okay to get grossed out when your husband tells you your son's diaper that morning looked like dog food (but then smile a little because you didn't have to change it)

- Snot bubbles no longer gross you out for some weird reason

- Toddlers seem to like Sonic cherry limeades...so much that they will whine the whole time you are drinking it because you gave in and gave them a sip and somehow that sweet simple pleasure is no longer sweet or simple

- Elmo saves the day...EVERY DAY

- When your child learns how to blow a kiss to you, it can make it all worth it :)
