Life with any age child brings about a sorts of twists and turns. Now that Madison is 3 years old every day a little more of her babyhood disappears and is replaced by the little person that she is quickly becoming. Here are just a few things that I have learned from being the Mommy of a three year old little girl.
Piles of Laundry are not for folding they are for running onto, jumping off of or making a "cool bed"
Washing dishes are not a hastle but an excuse to splash in sudsy water
Naptime is made bearable by reading two books before hand
Getting a bath is always fun, it is the hair washing that poses a problem
Light up Cinderella shoes go great with any outfit
No music is needed to dance
A baby in utero hears, eats and drinks through Mommy's bellybutton
Any drink tastes better in a princess cup
Pink is always in fashion
Mommy's kisses make everything better
Ketchup goes with everything from french fries to strawberries and cucumbers too!(as an adult I find this one particularly gross)
I could go on and on with plenty more but these are just a few of my favorites. I also have my Meme posted from New Mommy Rant. Enjoy and feel free to add a few thoughts that you have learned from your child(ren)!
