In the beginning, whenever my firstborn made a mess, I thought, "Aaaaaaaaaaa!"
When the second child spilled something, I thought, "Oh, no. Ugh."
Then along came the third child....
My reaction when he came up holding a tiny piece of a wipe, and I followed him to find out where it came from, only to discover the livingroom floor covered with wipes?
"That's hilarious! Where's my camera?"
Funny how that works, huh?

Hmmm, I see this relaxed attitude around me Susie. But for a tidy person like me... Am I sure I want kids?
LOLOL, Jadie! Of course you want little people...they inherit our tendancies. More than likely you'll give birth to a tidy person, too.
But I know what you mean about the "relaxed attitude." When it comes to discipline...I'm a bit of "tough cookie." (More like a police officer.) But with messes, I've found myself mentally calculating the amount of time needed to "fix" the situation...and then I react. In this case, I thought, "I can pick that up in 5 seconds and still use the wipes. Great! Where's the camera first?" LOL! A few years ago, I wouldn't have thought like that...or been quite so calm. ;) Probably lucky for Ethan, huh?
