6. Trips to the Emergency Room for super high fevers, something called Nurse’s Elbow and assorted Hot Wheels parts stuck up the nose
7. Having a step-stool in the bathroom so they can reach the sink. That step-stool made me trip at least 63 times a day!
8. Noses and butts that don’t wipe themselves
9. That it took 20 minutes to walk 1/2 a block
10. That the whole world and every single minute of every single day revolved around mama
And, to be fair, there are things I will miss about the infancy, toddler and preschool years.
Here are the Top 10 things I WILL miss about the early years:
1. Naps (Hey, I’m an honest blogger!)
2. 8:00 bedtime
3. Sitting– and fitting–on my lap
4. Fuzzy, footed pajamas on a fresh-washed kid
6. Stopping to admire puppies, kitties and big kids
7. No need for haircuts
8. Never having to say, “Because you have school tomorrow!”
9. That it took 20 minutes to walk 1/2 a block
10. That the whole world and every single minute of every single day revolved around mama
What about you? Whatever age your kids may be, what is it that you WILL or WON’T miss as they get older?
And, hey—don’t make me feel like a bad mom for saying I miss naps!
