THE JOY OF PARENTING





* A miracle happens every day when a child is born
* When you want a child, you have a lot to hope for, when you have a child, you have a lot to live for
* Children are born color blind, loving all people
* The biggest surprise in parenthood is that hanging out with your baby is fun
* While you can't recall what you did with your newborn all day, somehow it took every minute of your time.
* Toddlers are more likely to eat healthy food if they find it on the floor
* The secret to feeding your child is learning how to disguise a vegetable as a french fry
* Nothing puts a smile on your face faster than a 2 year old eating spaghetti
* Children push your buttons to see how you'll react - thats how they learn
* Before you try to give your children what you didn't have, give them what you do have
* You can alway tell the age of someones kids by how high up the good china sits on the shelf
* No matter how few toys a child might have, he/she is only deprived if he/she is unloved
* Some of life's greatest truths are voiced by children
* You never really know what working overtime is until you become a parent
* For an immediate response from your children, relax on the couch with your feet up
* With children come new stains on the carpet, new dents on the coffee table and new joys in your life
* Your children may forget what you say, but they will never forget how you made them feel
* You don't fully appreciate the healing power of love until the day your child kisses your hurt away and tells you that everything will be all right
* Kids ask questions until puberty. Then they know all the answers and the parents ask all the questions
* WHILE MARRIAGE ISN'T ALWAYS "TILL DEATH DO US PART", PARENTHOOD TRULY IS!!!
