Forgive me, Readers, for I have sinned. It's been a loooong time since I last blogged. I've had a helluva case of writer's block, coupled with lack of sleep (Evie's still into night time parties), and a bad habit of having kick-ass ideas at night, but not writing them down. What can I say? The Tempurpedic sings the song of my people.
A lot has changed. I have two new babies I watch. They're both some pretty awesome girls! Well, crap. I guess that's really the only thing that's changed. Whatevs.
I'm still having some writer's block, so, I'm just gonna list some things I've noticed when watching more than two babies in diapers.
1. Like women synching menstrual cycles, babies sync bowel movements. Not kidding. I noticed it back when I worked in daycare, and my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm 98.76% sure that this is a real thing, guys. (I'm also 99.74% sure that I like making up statistics.) It never fails. Every day, I give them lunch, then wait 10 or so minutes, and BOOM. Paint starts peeling. Pretty sure trash guys hated me until they got the automated claw-thingy.
2. Little girls are dramatic, and territorial. Nick and Jojo were NEVER like this. But, bust out some Bunny Grahams with these girls? The claws come OUT. Doesn't matter that everyone is having the SAME THING. They will kill each other to take the other's Bunnies.
3. The more you discourage eating the sand in the sand box, the more they do it. Now, we avoid eye contact, they do their thing, and decide for themselves that Bunny Grahams > sand.
4. Sand poops are rough. Literally.
5. I need to stop trying to reason with toddlers. You'd think I would already know that.
6. Weenie dogs make awesome dustbusters. I thought I wanted a lab, but Lily can fit under the table.
Feel free to add your own!
