A Father Reveals Things He Has Learned From His Children https://kellymom.com/fun/wisdom/father/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=father Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:55:13 +0000 http://kellymom.com/?p=3042 There is no such thing as childproofing your house.

A four-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

Quiet does not necessarily mean don't worry.

When you hear the toilet flush and the words, "Uh-oh" it's already too late.

Play dough and microwave should never be used in the same sentence.

Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four-year-old.

A Message From A Busy One Year Old https://kellymom.com/fun/wisdom/one-year-old/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=one-year-old Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:50:20 +0000 http://kellymom.com/?p=3036 Please expect me to be busy. That is my developmental job. Please remember that I don't need to do things well, I just need to do them. I like it when you tell me what I am doing, not how well or how poorly I am doing it. If you keep telling me that I do things well, that I am smart or cute or brave or spunky, I get mixed up and I think I have to act those special ways to please you. When you tell me what I am doing, when you say, "Andrew is climbing on the sofa," I feel loved for being who I am and the age I am.

Announcing the new Toddler Miracle Diet! https://kellymom.com/fun/wisdom/toddlerdiet/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=toddlerdiet Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:44:06 +0000 http://kellymom.com/?p=3027 Over the years you may have noticed that most 2 year olds are trim. It came to me one day over a cup of grapefruit juice and a carrot that perhaps their diet is the reason.

After consultation with pediatricians, x-ray technicians and distraught mothers, I was able to formulate this new diet. It is inexpensive and offers great variety and sufficient quantity. ENJOY!!

The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence..."
