Advice to all prospective parents

I know it's tempting to register for all of those really cute little outfits at your favorite stores. The matching bedding/valences/stuffed animals just look adorable. Skip it all. What you REALLY need is a carpet steam cleaner! It is worth its weight in gold.

How have I spent my morning of waiting for the mail? I spent a large portion of it dealing with the aftermath of a 2 year old trying to feed a plastic giraffe 24 oz. of white grape & peach juice out of a 2 oz. plastic cup. Did he open the refrigerator on his own? Did a big brother leave the door slightly ajar? I may never know. Why in a house filled with tile flooring did he choose to use the bedroom carpet as his "pour location"? Ugh! Sticky! Sticky! Sticky! (On a positive note, at least THIS time he didn't use the water from the toilet!)

Of course, you can't JUST clean that one spot in the carpet. That one spot leads to the high traffic area in the hallway... the spot that was under the couch but isn't anymore because you moved it and finally just most of the living room because you've got hot soapy water left in the machine.

It's soon time to go to the mailbox... wish 75% of the family wasn't still in their pj's. Oops!
