Today I've realized that had a man not invented the pacifier in 1902.... A nursing mom would've not too long after! LOL I also realize that if me little guy didn't take one, I'd become the human pacifier for all eternity (not really, though it seems)! I'm grateful for our paci's!
I've learned to just keep my mouth shut, to smile and GET OVER IT! Not everything will go the way I want or plan. To be happy with what is, and not sulk over what isn't!

Lifes simple little messages....
I know, I know.... 2 posts in 1 night! I wanted to get this started today... actually yesterday since I meant to get this going on Monday. We'll count this as Monday's, and then when I post again in the evening, or whenever I get a chance, we'll count it as today's!
I learn something new EVERYDAY! Usually it's taught to me by my children.... who knew, as moms, we'd be taking little lessons from little people, much, much younger than we are??!
I'm going to try to list at least one thing I've learned or became aware of everyday this week.
Today (monday) :
I've realized that as adults, we've lost the ability to be content with the simple things in life. I remember as a child, feeling wonderful walking in the cool grass with my bare feet! LOL... I know, random, but SO SIMPLE! I did it today... and I got that giddy feeling that I used to get as a child! It feels so natural to me. Something that you should be able to feel all the time. Who needs shoes??!! If I could feel like that all the time, I'd throw out all my shoes!
I've also learned that I shouldn't let miss Tater Tot wipe herself after going potty.... this leads to a clogged toilet due to the amount of toilet paper she THINKS she NEEDS to use. *Note to self... follow the toddler to the toilet and watch until she's finished, that 60 seconds of inconvenience is going to save me 30 minutes with my "friend" the plunger!
