25 things Parents Learn from Birth to Age 7

1 - Motrin is God's gift to teething
2 - Tylenol is okay too if you don't have Motrin.
3 - Cutting finger nails is harder than it looks
4 - Naked bums crawling around are the cutest until they pee on the carpet.
5 - Poop in the tub - happens.
6 - Binky's are wonderful and the kid won't go to Kindergarten with it!
7 - Potty Training is harder than it looks and it can all go bad on you before you blink!
8 - Spaghetti is not your friend when the kid is self-feeding.
9 - Mac n Cheese isn't either.
10 - Swappin' spit, sippee cups, food - child #1 - Never happen; child #3 and #4 - Yup, happens.
11 - Projectile vomitting is kind of amazing even if it is gross.
12 - Expect drool to happen a lot and especially when you're waiting for pictures at the studio and it dribbles all down their outfit where you can see it in every picture.
13 - Picture days are a must, but stress me out.
14- Don't wish for your kids to walk early - it only means they'll never stay put again.
15 - Even if your kid talks late - they will talk and then they'll never be quiet.
16 - When grounding your child, don't, under any circumstances, take away the TV on a weekend - they'll drive you so crazy that you'll give it back to save your sanity.
17 - Avoid purchasing the following toys - Playdoh, markers that aren't washable, crayons that aren't washable, and anything that makes noise but doesn't have an off/on switch or volume control.
18 - Never say your kid "will never" when it comes to junk food, soda and candy because some day, they will.
19 - Giving boo boos the proper attention may require the proper first aid products - Barbie, Power Rangers, and Scooby Doo bandaids, and non-stinging bactine.
20 - Brushing teeth is a chore - no matter what character toothbrush or toothpaste you buy, they still don't want to do it.
21 - Bribing only works until their 3, then they smarten up and it's all over.
22 - Blink and your kids go from newborns to 7 year olds in a flash - no kidding.
23 - Blink again and you have grandkids.
24- Do not use profuse amounts of colored icing on birthday cakes - besides coloring skin various shades of the rainbow, it makes diaper deposits also funny colors.
25 - No matter what bodily function your kid does, you still find it either humorous, cute, or are sympathetic to it.
