A List of Things I Would Never Know if I Didn't Have a 14-Month-Old

1. A "sensory table" is really just another place to put your trash.

2. That I would ever consider this a masterpiece.

3. Minutes can seem like hours, but months can seem like days.

4. Sometimes you just need to dance. At the grocery store. In the cereal aisle. (Beyonce gets me every time, too.)

5. Hearing your child say "mama" can be both the sweetest and the most annoying sound in the world.

6. Unrolling a toilet paper roll is clearly more exciting than a room full of toys.

7. Never say the word "banana" after you've brushed your baby's teeth.

8. Choosing a few pictures from the past year to print and frame turns into a two hour event. Complete with laughter and tears.

9. It is possible (although perhaps not normal) for a 14-month-old to become infatuated with goats and gorillas. Thank God for youtube.

10. Zucchini and carrots belong on the floor.

She ate the berries, though.
