We have been using this for about a week with GREAT success! Our girls LOVE the independence of being able to get out of bed without having to ask if it is time to wake up! It really is awesome!

6. Memory cards in my makeup bag.

7. Kids socks in my purse – not sure how.

My car is a VW – wagon.

You can eat off my kitchen floor – because sometimes, my kids do.

I have a 5 minute make-up routine – because – otherwise, my toddlers will also be putting on my makeup.

I can color, play memory, make play dough animals, and read Curious George like its no one’s business. I am not sure where that fits on my resume.

Most days, I am on my second outfit before leaving for work – because sticky hands have hugged me. Peanut butter on pants is never professional.

I embrace the question “Why?” at least 25 times a day. And I work for 8 hours of the day.

I understand my 20 month old. Its almost like Americans understanding Chinese.

I can disinfect any surface.

My shoes are not my own.

There are letters on my fridge.

My art-decor of choice is color pencils or crayon drawings.

I have found my kids socks or shoes in the following places : the bathtub, my purse, the dog’s mouth, the toilet.

I have found my kids toothbrush in the following places: the bathtub, my purse, the dog’s mouth, the toilet.

Too often, the Dad’s that are busting it to be an ACTIVE part of the nurturing and child-rearing don’t get all the praise they deserve. It’s sad that we take them for granted!

I know so many of my friends that are blessed with husbands that are ACTIVE in all parts of the parenting.

How awesome for those kids, their self-esteem’s, their sense of worth and value  - everything will be so well grounded because they know how important they are to both of their parents.

To my husband, our daughters will understand love and acceptance so much more deeply because you demonstrate love and acceptance to them daily. Your gentleness and grace and PATIENCE challenges me!

To all the Daddy’s out there, especially the single ones, keep it up! Our children are better for all you do.
