Lessons Learned

Rachel over at Milkbreath and Me has implemented Moron Monday. I didn't participate this week since I couldn't think of any good stories, but next week I'm sure I'll have something by then!
Following Monday is Lesson Tuesday. So I will impart to all of you what I have learned from her other "moron" readers!!

• Don't make a chocolate beet cake with a 3 year old. And to top it off don't leave it un-refrigerated.
• Don't kneel on the the floor with a birthday cake at 35 weeks pregnant, in front of all your party guest!
• If dogs are in the house make sure you let them out in the morning. And if you smell something stinky, investigate!
• Check your shoes and Elsewhere for dog poop before you get in the car.
• If you're nursing and your child has a low tolerance to caffeine don't drink a whole Vanilla Chai Latte, unless you like fighting your child to sleep!
• When you yourself are tired don't take 3 tired, whiny, grumpy children to the grocery store at bedtime.
• Don't stay up til wee wee hours of the morning if you don't have to, especially the night before you're host a large party.
• 3 play dates along with normal weekend activities is too much for a young child.
• Walk, don't run when you're going to check if you didn't leave your headlights on. (Hope your ankle feels better Becca!)
• If you don't want your child eating your chocolate "grown up" snacks, don't eat it in front of them. And then don't leave them on the counter unsupervised!!

Oh and my favorite.....

• If your child has a loose tooth and you plan on the Tooth Fairy leaving dollar coins make sure you have them ready and available, lest the tooth comes out on the weekend and the banks are closed!!

So I hope you have learned from others mistakes as much as I have!!
