A Giggleworthy List From A Mother’s Dictionary:

Having been a parent for quite some time now, I know exactly what I am doing…not at all.  Because with each passing month something changes.  You hit a new and unusual problem.  Stages aren’t just for the little ones…IT NEVER CHANGES…STAGES…EVERY YEAR… UNTIL…THEY… MOVE OUT.  Sorry if I’ve burst anyones bubble there.  Anyway, these stages produce some of the best/worse experiences of our little lives.

Below is a list titled A Mother’s Dictionary and it just made me giggle, so I had to share.  If you are a new parent, most of these will ring true and if you are a, not so new parent then you’ll remember them, and you can puff up your chest and polish off that great gold badge that they give us after we make it through toddlerdom and be proud of yourselves.  God knows what is waiting for us all in the morning.  Enjoy.  (NOTE: Gold badge may or may not exist).
