10 things I’ve learned from my child

August 2, 2008 – 9:29 am

icecream tastes better if you eat it naked.

if everybody's doing it, it may not be safe but it's probably fun.

there's nothing wrong with getting a little, or a lot, messy

if someone tries to take your picture, just make a funny face.

feet are happier when they're not wearing shoes

if it's not all over your face, you're not really enjoying it.

there's nothing wrong with some pudge

bed-head can be cute.

live in the moment.

anyone can be a ninja. you just gotta feel like a ninja. do you feel like a ninja?

    I wish I could get my sister in law to read this list. My nephew and niece are always spotless, always well behaved, or they’re behind diciplined. I can’t wait to have kids so I can play in the mud with them!

    I love #7! This is a really cute meme. I’ve got to start thinking of what I’ve learned besides that kids are exhausting and they ruin your body.

    I totally have pictures that look a lot like #3! Not of ME you sillies! Of my boys.

    Eating ice cream naked sounds better and better. Maybe this afternoon while the boys are napping…

    I loved your list. You’re right. Bedhead is so cute (probably my favourite hairstyle), along with the sleepy eyes. And those little feet are way too cute to be hiding in shoes!

    After a lifetime of being uptight I am starting to realize most of your top ten is probably right but the problem is how in the world do I start now to let my hair down? it feels so unnatural and so odd, I am so self-conscious.

    This year has been especially furtle for our family in finding the joy of the simple things of life. Times have been tough and we have had to cut back but our family has all agreed this has been one of our best years to date so what more can you ask for really? I mean isn’t it joy and satisfaction and peace we are all after anyway? I have certainly never been fulfilled in anything else.
