Lesson #1 (Mama): Decorating a Christmas tree with toddler "helper" is difficult but not impossible.
Lesson #2 (Mama): The one finger rule is surprisingly helpful.
Lesson #3 (Lucy): Mama can not understand sign language when it is 2am and pitch black.
Lesson #4 (Mama): If at 2am, you hear your toddler take off her diaper and see her attempting to sign something or move her arm around at all, don't think. Just move to the potty as fast as possible or you will end up spending the rest of the night on the 1/4 of the bed that is still dry. (Yes, this one is related to the previous lesson but hey, it could have been much worse).
Lesson #5 (Mama): If you let your toddler eat nothing but asparagus for Christmas dinner (11 stalks to be exact), she will have incredible stinky diapers for the next 24-48 hours. (Luckily this was a few days separated from Lessons #3 and #4)
Lesson#6: (Lucy): Hugs from your mama make everything better.
Lesson #6 (Mama): Hugs from your baby can't make everything better, but they do help a lot.
Hahaha to #3-5. Very good to know. And 11 stalks of asparagus--wow! Lewis hasn't had that yet, but we eat it all the time during the summer, so I'll try to remember to limit his intake a little. :)
