A List of Reasons I'm Glad Rory Won't Remember Her First Few Years

1. That one time I screamed at her to go to sleep. It didn't work.

2. Her Kate Gosselin hairstyle.(You know, long on the sides, spikey in the back.) There's only one word that adequately describes her hair right now, and that is tragic.

3. Breastfeeding. Because, ew, who wants to remember that?

4. All of those times she's hit her head on the wood floor. Our house is 80% carpet, and yet...

5. Picking her nose is one of my favorite pastimes.

6. Now that she's mobile, she is forced to go to the bathroom with me. Sorry kid.

7. She had to go with me to my annual women's wellness check. (Read: pap smear.) If there were ever a reason to move close to family, this would be it.

Oh you know, just hangin at the gyno. 

7. People still refer to her as a boy. That's a pink bow in her Kate Gosselin hair, people!

8. Sometimes, when I'm reading a really good book, I just read aloud to her in a high-pitched voice to keep her entertained. (I was especially grateful for her baby brain when I finally got around to reading the last "Fifty Shades of Gray" book.)

9. I sometimes often always look for stray (stale) cheerios in the crevices of her high chair before giving her fresh ones.

10. Sometimes daddy dresses her. Although, I feel as though we'd be doing her a disservice if she can't look back at her baby pictures and say, "I can't believe you dressed me like that!"
