Lessons learned from my toddler..so far

I became a mommy at the young age of 21 and to say it was a surprise would be an understatement. I always knew I wanted to be a mommy but I didn't think it would happen so quickly when my then boyfriend (now husband) and I were dating. We have had our own struggles to deal with before even welcoming our son into the world and a bunch more after he arrived. Although, I think relationships and marriages are hard especially after adding a little baby. My baby (now toddler) has taught me many lessons. Here are some of my favorites:

1. NEVER, EVER leave lotions, Vicks, or Vaseline within arm's reach of the toddler while in the shower because he will find it and rub it all.over.himeself. Lotion is a pain to get out of hair and Vicks and Vaseline is a pain in the butt, all the same. 

2. He will repeat everything you say..even when you don't think he can hear you, he can. You will also learn some of the things that you didn't think were "bad words" sound bad coming out of your child's mouth. 

3. Your privacy is gone. There is no more going to the bathroom alone or taking a bath/shower without an audience. You'll learn to get used to it but they will ask you "what is that?" and you'll have to be quick with your response so be ready for it! 

4. You will be peed on, pooped on, and puked on at least a couple of time. Whether it's in the beginning when they're wee little babies or when they're older and they get sick and you're getting puked on. It will happen.
