Guest Post! Woo!

It is quite an honour to be a guest blogger on my son's blog. When he asked me to write a guest post, I jumped at the opportunity, and it got me thinking of what could I possibly say. I could talk about the ups and (rare) downs of being a mom, I could discuss the incredible surprise at loving something as much as Felix, but these topics are kind of obvious. Instead, I will share some things that I have learned from him.

Title: Seven Things I Have Learned From My Eight Month Old Baby Man

(Also, I love lists so THAT love has been reflected in the below post)

1. Stretch. Take a good 5 minutes in the morning and really luxuriate in a long stretch, grunting and moaning encouraged.

2. Express Yourself. If you don't like something, speak up, let others know that you are not cool with the red block being just out of reach. Also, smile at anything that brings you joy because inevitably it will be contagious.

3. Naps. Take 'em. I have never been a good napper, and despite my brilliant son being an expert full-night sleeper at the ripe old age of 5 months old...most of the time, I still find myself a little snoozy in the late afternoon, so taking a little 45 min kip is a delightful pre-dinner activity. Get. Involved.

4. Hang out in your undies. (or diapers if that's what floats your boat). It's comfortable, it's awesome, and other people don't really seem to mind.

5. Lady Parts. Boobs are rad. I only kind of knew this before.

6. No list about babies would be complete without the discussion of poop. It's okay to poop your pants. Proverbially of course.

7. Express Yourself Part 2. Jumping up and down and clapping is a perfectly acceptable way of expressing excitement.

Thank you for having me post on your blog, Felix.

Love, Mommy
