Previous thirty day period, my website achieved the grand aged age of 12. I can’t pretty believe that it is been all over for so prolonged – it is a veritable digital antique now – and that I have not obtained bored of it nonetheless.
Speaking of which, I may possibly inevitably hang up my keyboard right before the following common landmark – whilst I have no strategies to do so nonetheless – so it can make perception to celebrate although I’m however heading.
And how do you celebrate when you’ve created way too several blog posts? With a compilation post, of study course!
In excess of the many years, I’ve covered the grim facet of parenting very a great deal so, devoid of further more ado, I give you the dirty dozen.
5 gross items that little ones do
I know, I know… how did I only arrive up with 5? This put up addresses licking toothpaste lids, lacking the rest room and ‘cleaning’ with snot rags.
It also involves a pre-pandemic shot of me sporting a deal with mask. Probably parenting essentially ready me for the last few of decades.
Zombie eye!
There are many happy firsts we rejoice as moms and dads. To start with ways, laughs and words are generally highlights.

This is going to drive me potty
Ugh. Rest room teaching. I’m happy we’re perfectly over and above this grim stage. I even now believe it would have been a lot easier to persuade Ghengis Khan to sit on a potty than it was with oldest.
Furthermore no person advised me I was heading to have to give a reside demonstration…
Five means my children have produced me skanky
Ah, all those wonderful early times. When you don’t get any slumber and inadvertently abandon your private cleanliness. It’s perfectly worthy of a spot in the dirty dozen.

It also served to affirm my inner thoughts on some fashionable slang getting relatively questionable.
Mud kitchens: why?
Why on earth did my kids’ main faculty choose to increase a mud kitchen area? It was rather at odds with its relatively rigid uniform plan.
My young ones ended up looking like they’d been to Glastonbury and contrary to the renowned track, mud is not superior for cooling the blood…
Masters of farts
Any justification to Photoshop my sons as South Park’s Terrance and Phillip. But, to be truthful, they attained it. How?
Employing the word ‘poo’ as punctuation, farting on desire and guffawing like a pair of little youngsters. Which, to be truthful, they had been at the time.
Big discrepancies involving boys and girls? Not in our household
Not to be outdone by her brothers’ exploits just before she was on the scene, youngest was fast to show that the so-termed differences amongst boys and ladies are nonsense.

Other points of curiosity include a big mess in the kitchen and a small fire!

In which do toddlers come from? Sure, I know you know. But how do you clarify to your young small children how the new baby received there?
