1.  Something that was your three year old’s absolute favorite thing in the whole world last week (yesterday, this morning, an hour ago, a minute ago) is not necessarily their favorite anymore.  Even if it was their favorite thing for nearly a year….  I mistakenly ordered a chocolate milk when in fact apple juice is the new absolute favorite beverage.  Boy did she let me have it!

2.  You can dress your almost ten month old daughter in hot pink from head to toe complete with a pretty pink bow in her hair and old ladies will still refer to her as a he.  I have never, and will never, understand this.

3.  You can ask your child a bazillion times to do something and they will still refuse to do it.  However, the second a stranger (or anyone other than mom) asks your child the same thing, she will do it.  We stopped to have a snack in one of those sitting areas at the mall.  Brinley dropped one of her granola bites on the floor and I asked her nicely to pick it up.  Then I asked her again, and again, and again.  Then I told her to pick it up (again, and again, and again),  But it wasn’t until the lady sitting beside us said, “Honey I think you dropped one of your cookies on the floor.  Can you pick it up and throw it away?” that she immediately stopped what she was doing and went over and picked it up.  Grrrr..  Makes me feel so powerless!

4.  An ice cream filled cupcake can make anything better!
