Now That I'm A Parent

Now that I'm a parent there are some things I should say:

1. I think that parents should get a present on their child's first birthday. Especially first time parents. After all, parents did an awful lot of work and an awful lot of worry just to get through the first year.

2. All parents should go back and apologize to their own parents because now they know how it feels. So Mom and Dad I'm sorry for:
a. banging the piano keys when you (Mom) were trying to actually play a song
b. half baked Easy Bake Oven cakes that Dad had to at least try
c. the fit I always threw everytime you tried to clip my finger and toe nails.
d. the fit I also threw when I had to take a bath/shower
e. for never wanting to clean my room

3. All parents should thank their parents now that they know that parenting is a tough job. So Mom and Dad thanks for:
a. dancing in the car even though I thought it embarassing at the time, it's super fun to do with the boys now!
b. discipline
c. taking us to church every Sunday
d. teaching us to "let our yes be yes and no be no"
e. allowing my imaginary friend to have dinner with us

Love you Mom and Dad!
