Beware the antics of a 4 yr old. To be a parent of a toddler/preschooler I've found you must be more imaginative then they are or
- You will never find those Easter Eggs they hide,
- You will never find the cat they have hidden away until you make it a game, and then you don't find her.... your child will come running in saying "Look what I found".
- If they don't want to wear it, clothing WILL disappear.
- Your cell phone will be replaced a few times, you will find things on it you know you didn't put there, and please PLEASE don't let it die before you find it.
- Once you have taught your child their numbers and how to call out on speed dial.... hide your cell phone 'cuz they will use it if you take a nap.
- Should you wake up later than your child and he has decided to make you breakfast, pray he didn't discover how fun it is to use the can of Pam..... or hope it was almost empty.
and the last lesson I have learned so far -
7. If your child does not want to eat his lunch because he wanted hot dogs instead be wary if he brings you an empty plate and it looks like it has been scraped clean. It probably isn't in the garbage can because he expects you to look there... instead check the empty drawers under his bed. Should you have dogs they will love him.
All this and more do your have to learn. Remember your oldest child is only almost 5, and he has a long time to teach his Mom and Dad lots of new lessons. It is great that you can see the humor in the day to day lessons, because your kids are only little for such a short time. Just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy each special moment.
