Things new parents should know!
What I would Love to tell New Parents
1. When people tell you that you should be napping while your baby naps.. tell them to shove it! I could never nap.. I had too much to do! Yes I was exhausted.. but I just couldn't nap. So stop telling me to nap!
2. You will be tired.. very tired.. for the first year. Times by 10 the most tired you have ever felt!
3. As soon as they start crawling/walking they get into EVERYTHING!!! Lock up your cupboards!
4. Leave the Dishes.. they can wait. Spending QUALITY time with your child is more important. So are the dishes.. but they can wait a few hours. :-)
5. When people say time flies with kids.. it really does! They grow up in the blink of an eye!
6. Kids destroy things!!! Our child is called "the destroyer".. you will not be able to have nice things for like 10 years.. seriously!
7. It doesn't matter how you feed your child.. breastmilk or Formula.. as long as you do it you are a good mother!!!
8. You will know what its like to love something with all of your being as soon as that beautiful baby is placed in your arms!!!
9. DO NOT BUY CHEAP dollar store MARKERS!! They don't come out!! Invest in the good stuff.. CRAYOLA! and Mr. Clean Magic erasers!
10. Children bring incredible JOY to your life!! Through all the messes, the dishes, the poop the puke.. blah blah.. when your child gives you a kiss and hug.. its the BEST feeling in the world! Hold on to that forever!!
