Thomas, our second son, is always teaching me new things about being a mother. He is unique and I love it. I have been writing down little “lessons” learned from him over time. He has taught me a lot. I thought i’d share a little, I’m sure this list will continue to grow, as long as he keeps being my Thomas.
- The color orange goes with everything!
- Bottles of shampoo and soap are single use, no matter the size.
- Always check to make sure Thomas is wearing underwear.
- Don’t forget how young he is because of how independent he is.
- When Thomas is missing, check the car trunk.
- The dirtier the better. This applies to toys, rooms, bodies, etc.
- Silence is dangerous.
- Hide the scissors. The temptation is too great, he will cut his hair.
- Always check the chair before sitting down. It may be sticky, wet or taken apart.
- The answer to “Why are you picking your nose?” is “Because I’m Thomas.”
- Have a plan. Thomas has a plan for his career, sweet girl that he’ll marry, home he will live in, and vehicle(s) he will drive.
