Free Parenting Lessons!
Lesson #9,049: Never attempt to change the diaper/pull up of an almost 2 year old who is holding a bat.
I share my knowledge with you, in hopes that you yourself will not have to learn this lesson the hard way, as I did.
Now granted, the bat was smaller than a regulation bat...but it was hollow & much wider. It was also made of bright green plastic if that is of any importance to anyone.
Lesson #9,050: Never turn your back on an almost 2 year old with a shovel full of dirt, regardless of the shovel size.
Again...I learned this the hard way. As I had my back to the almost 2 year old, I was picking up pecan shells out of the yard, and the load carried by the shovel was emptied onto my back. Thank you very much Gage. Sand is like the new black--it goes with everything...you can dress it up or dress it down.
So...there's that old saying, "you learn something new everyday."
Maybe I've learned some new things....
...or had at least 2 lapses in judgement today.
That's parenting for ya....

Thank you. Now I've learned something too.
When you said Gage was holding a bat, I instantly thought you were talking about a real live bat. I thought, HOLY SHIT how did her son catch a bat? Yes, I am a dumbass.
i think it is just safer we never go near two year olds unless they are sleeping..and even then they can kick you in the head
Teehee.
Oh, yeah, parenting can be dangerous!
Hazardous pay would be nice - any pay would be nice!
LOL @ christy!
Another "tip" - just say no to golf clubs! It doesn't matter if they're cutesy plastic ones from Devil(Wal)-Mart or real!
mmmm, just wait. Someday you might be at Water World. And Gage might say, "Hey, lets go stand on that pier and watch the boat come down." and you'll think why not? Too late will you wonder why you're the only idiots standing there. Only when the boat and the wall-o-water comes rushing at you will you truly understand a 10 year old sense of humor.....
Thanks for the heads up!
LOL, unfortunately I have already learned the lesson about a bat. Even though River is only one, he's still dangerous when in possession of a bat.
lol--thanks for the laugh! i don't tend to get lessons like these with all girls.
mine are more like "why not to leave a 2 & 3 year old in a newly painted navy bedroom with lip gloss."
=)
Thanks for the tips!
And lol, Christy!
hmmmmm... good to know. mental note for me ;)
Wish you had this on tape!
Another rule; Never listen to a David Sedaris tape when you are caring for a baby in a high chair eating cottage cheese. You will open your mouth to laugh and the cheese can be flung into your mouth nicely.
Toddler: the tool user = danger. Got it. Mine has started flinging toys at me but has yet to wield an instrument.
LOL Christy and Maria.
lmFao.. omg.. you make me laugh so hard.. these are good lessons to learn!!! If only i had been pre-warned when mine were smaller!! lol.
ROTFL, Laine!
