Raising a toddler is like herding cats.

More accurately, having a toddler is a lot like having a dog. Two Facebook layout re-dos ago, I posted something on my status (or a note? I forget....) about how infants are like drunk people.
Why a newborn is like a drunk person....
1. They drink until they throw up.
2. They don't care who they throw up on.
3.They wet themselves.
4. They can't hold their head up straight.
5.They fall asleep in weird positions and in even weirder places.
6. Sometimes, they whine or laugh for no obvious reason.
7. It is often hard to wake them up after they have passed out from drinking.
8.You can't understand what they say.
9.You can't take them to classy upscale restaurants without annoying people.
AND
10. They are always reaching for boobs.
A friend added "they never wake up in the same place they fell asleep"

So now, we have...... HOW A TODDLER IS LIKE A DOG!!
1. They like to dig in the garbage.
2. They like to stick limbs or other body parts in toilet water.
3. If it is food, it is edible, even if it's been on the floor.
4. There are leashes involved.
5. When on walks, there is pulling involved because EXPLORING IS NECESSARY.
6. People give you THE LOOK when you come into a restaurant.
7. You know when they are pooping, and you dread cleaning it up.
8. You have to teach them when and where to pee.
9. Putting cute clothes on them gets an "awwwww" from most people.
10. You constantly find things that were buried or hidden.

  2. Just remember, schedules are good for dogs and children until you have to break the schedule.
