10 Things Jonathan Taught Me

Many say that parenting is all about what you teach your child, although I think most of the time, your kids do most of the teaching.  My 2 year old has taught us millions of things in the past 2 years and this blog will go on forever if I list every single one so below are my top 10!! 

Enjoy and if you're a parent, you can relate :)

1.) Sleep is not a luxury, it's a God given miracle.
We are no longer in control of our own sleep patterns, he is.  But nothing beats the feeling of watching my child sleep peacefully, melts my heart every time, no matter how tired I am.

2.) Breastfeeding has given me a whole new appreciation for cows.
Having a baby suck on your boob for 45 minutes every 2-3 hours for half a year is very draining, literally.  Pair that with using a breast pump, I definitely felt like a dairy cow.  It was exhausting and I had sore nipples for months.  (Lovely, I know.)

3.) Purse shopping.
Having a child has given me an excuse to buy new purses, specifically large ones.  Need room for those diapers and toys!!

4.) Multi-tasking.
I shit you not, there were certain days when I would be breastfeeding, cooking, and talking on the phone, all at the same time.  Proud mommy moment.

5.) Baby wipes are freaking amazing.
Not just for wiping poopy bums, they get anything off of everything.  Puke on the couch? No problem!! Baby wipe that shiznat!!

6.) Privacy in the bathroom.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

7.) His smile and cuddles just makes everything 200% better.
No matter how crappy my day is, Jonathan always has a way of reminding me not to sweat the small stuff.

8.) Kids songs.
The hubby and I have memorized all the words to every kid song known to man.

9.)  Toddlers have a sick sense of humour.
Jonathan seems to find it hilarious every time I'm angry or frustrated.  He also finds it funny to make a mess AFTER I clean up and look at me straight in the eye as he is doing this.

And lastly, the most important lesson Jonathan has taught me..............

10.) Patience.
From day 1 until they are out of the house, I will be mastering this skill.
