Truths

 "I don't want to!" when screamed in a snotty voice, is still a 4-word sentence and therefore counts toward communication goals.

If a 4-year-old takes off her clothes and finger-paints with the  contents of her diaper, it should be counted as 2 O/T exercises.

In our house, NOT stealing something from a friend or from the store is "progress!"

Mommy's sanity is often contingent upon the length of nap time and the presence of an entertaining children's movie within that same time period.

If at first you don't succeed, scream, cry, blame it on everyone else and then make it your personal mission to kick that goal into submission!

God makes children cute so they all don't mysteriously go missing after a particularly bad tantrum.

A good dog can help you lower your blood pressure. A bad dog can help you lower your home value.
 (We feel VERY lucky to have a VERY good dog!)

Looking at things in black and white is fine as long as you happen to be looking at photos or old movies. Learning to rejoice in the millions of colors and varieties around us each day is the key to acceptance.

When life hands you lemons you have two choices. You can cut them all up and rub them in your eyes, scream in pain and make everyone else around you miserable too... or you can find 1,000,000 recipes that require lemons because everyone knows life just tastes better with a dash of lemon!

Pears are not lemons, but that doesn't make them inferior to lemons. Each has its own flavor and each is created to flourish in a different climate.

Now I want to hear what truths you have learned from parenthood or from life in general! Leave me a comment with your own pearls of wisdom :o)
