Since becoming a mom just 8 & 1/2 months ago, I've learned some very random (but very helpful) tidbits about parenting, raising children, family-friendly societies, etc. Here are some of them:
*I know the location of every elevator in the mall and all department stores.
*I know which bathrooms have changing tables. Sadly, this does not always include Starbucks locations, which is why one time I found myself changing Hannah on the regular table. :) (Take that!)
*I know how to position myself in restaurants in order to nurse inconspicuously.
*I know how to manipulate my body in ways so as to carry Hannah (with or without of her car seat), her diaper bag, a grocery bag or two, and miscellaneous toys. In addition...
*I know that I do not have to take the diaper bag in EVERY place I go. Most of the time, I'm only a few steps away from the car, and the wet or stinky diaper isn't going anywhere!
*I know it takes very little to amuse & entertain Hannah (stiff paper of any kind, sweatshirt pull strings, anyone's hair, her shoes, etc.)
*I know that I love Hannah more every day! :)
Okay, so that last one was a given & maybe a little schmaltzy, but you know what I mean. Anyway, that's all for now. More on the house later...

Oy! Schmaltzy! Let me get out my Yiddish dictionary and translate!
As time goes on, you will also learn other lessons like the following.
1. Your empty purse becomes a handy barf bag in a pinch.
2. Don't ever spend more than $20 on a purse (see lesson #1).
Yay! You finally updated... I love procrastinating on homework to check your blog. :-)
