1. Toddlers don't understand what you are doing when you kill a fly. So the rest of the day they go around hitting random objects as hard as they can. I mean, duh, that's what "mommy" did all morning. Monkey see, monkey do.
2. Never hang pictures with a toddler present. As soon as you lay the hammer down they will pick it up and smash a hole in the drywall.
3. Little plastic fireman toys *will* live through an entire normal cycle in the dishwasher. They won't even become disfigured.
4. Never leave a diet coke where a toddler can get his hands on it. This can lead to the toddler having the bright idea to take the diet coke, climb into sissy's glider, try to drink it and end up spilling it all over the glider and carpet...and himself.
5. Sibling fights begin as early as when the little one turns 6 months old. The little one will pull the toddler's hair unmercifully. She, also, will not stop. Nor will you be able to pull said locks from her Kung Fu grip.
6. I can now do a 30 minute nursing session with a 6 month old's finger jammed up my nose the entire time. It really isn't so bad until she starts wiggling it around. Let's look at the bright side, I'm breathing easier these days.
7. It is not impossible for an infant to have the smelliest and sweatiest feet in the world even though they don't wear shoes or socks. I'm convinced these feet will become the eighth wonder of the world.
8. Toddler's will try to feed their infant siblings anything they can get their hands on. Not limited to Cheerios, but including dish soap.
9. Toddler's WILL figure out the water dispenser on the refrigerator. Invest in one with a lock. You will thank me later.
10. It's never too early to notice sibling love and adoration. During the 'finger up the nose' nursing session, G rubbed L's head the entire time in a completely loving fashion. *sigh* Makes my heart happy.
