Children

The amazing thing about children is the fact that you can take care of them but they teach you things ALL THE TIME. Here is a list of 18 things I have learned this week while living with 3 children day in and day out.

1. Expect honesty. Whether you want it or not.

2. Never leave children alone. The amount of destruction that can happen in two minutes is shockingly astronomically huge. Hello glitter and paint. Wherever did you come from .

3. Early to bed, earlier they rise. 5:30? No thanks. It's still dark out.

4. Mac and cheese is always a hit.

5. Ice cream sandwiches do wonders for everyone's moods.

6. Kids are able to tell when you are frustrated and it's amazing how much a hug from one of them can do.

7. Nap times are not for the children. It's for the parents.

8. Bickering is going to happen. It's all in the way you handle it.

9. Silence is generally very, very bad.

10. Kids teach you what matters and what doesn't.

11. Kids teach you patience. You think you have patience... but just wait. You'll find out you don't have as much as you thought.

12. Kids ask questions all the time.

13. Kids are the best thing ever.

14. Kids remind me how nice it was being a kid. No responsibility. All play, some rest, lots of food, only fun.

15. Kids say the darnedest things. We were outside playing in the beautiful weather and the little boy goes "This is the most bestest swinging in the ENTIRE Worrrllldddd!". I'm so glad you think so!

16. Kids are always hungry. Guess we never grow out of that stage.

17. Kids are so affectionate.

18. Kids make my world go 'round.
