I have learned so much from having children.  Let me share just a few things…

If it were not for my children, I may never have learned…

5: How “un-cool” I really am.  Thankfully, my daughter reminds me on a weekly basis. I think motherhood has slowly turned me un-cool.

4: That I clearly wasn’t paying attention in grade six math.  Thank God for the internet.  I mean, how do teachers expect us parents to help out if we can’t remember this stuff? I can’t even remember my kids’ names!

3: That there are an incredible amount of viruses and rashes that a child can get and it is highly likely your child will get most of them.  And on a related note, a child can swallow a quarter size gem stone and not worry as, “this too shall pass”.

2: That the pain of giving birth naturally with no medication of any kind is what hell on earth feels like.  Only crazy women experience this four times.

1: That holding a tiny human of God’s creation in your arms for the first time is what heaven on earth feels like.  Incredibly blessed women get to experience it four times.
