New Mom

I still consider myself a new mom. Having a 3 year old is new to me, having a boy is new too. It's a steep learning curve, and I'm learning lots of things.

I'm learning that:

* No matter what I make for breakfast, regardless of whether or not I am fulfilling a request, it's not what she'll want to eat
* The cup I pick out is never right
* The clothes I pick out first are inevitably the most uncomfortable ones in the closet (even though they seemed to feel fine last week)
* The shoes I buy won't fit (even though she told me they feel fine)
* No matter how many times I ask her if she has to go potty, and no matter how many times she says no - if I believe her, it's only a matter of minutes before I'm wiping up pee off of some surface
* She hears everything - even when I whisper
* We're a lot more alike than I care to admit (whining, tantrums and all)

and finally:

I'm learning that when I'm just starting to get the hang of things, the rules will change.
