- Kids are absolutely disgusting when they get sick. Be prepared to be used as a human handkerchief.
- Kiss goodbye to conveniently leaving your spare change or hairclips laying about the house. They will be in your child's mouth at the precise moment that you stop looking.
- I've heard about that parent's sixth sense where you get alarmed when it gets quiet...it's happened to me. And I'm usually right, that's when Drake's discovered that high heels taste great.
- The stages of sleep deprivation are a) exhaustion b) oh my god, now I really know what exhaustion is c) how many times did I get up last night...seriously, how many d) stay in bed honey, I got this one. e) It's no big deal. Really, you reach a point where it doesn't matter and you stop counting hours of lost sleep!
- We've lived like the Amish ever since Drake discovered electrical cords plugged into the wall...
- I pick up things constantly. Constantly. Over time it's not even aggravating, I just do it. It's either that or trip over balls, cubes, pieces of paper, etc every step of the way to the refrigerator.
- My $400 universal remote will still work after being slobbered on. So does my $500 iPhone.
