Lessons in Parenting

This is a short one, but a couple of quick observations. Alex went to two birthday parties last Saturday, during which I learned several things:

1. Sandboxes can make quite a mess.

2. A moonbounce house is worth its weight in gold.

3. It is surprisingly difficult to get chocolate frosting off of a helium balloon with only a dry napkin.

4. Little girls are gifted at losing their hat when you aren’t looking.

5. Pushing a stroller makes you more approachable. People are more likely to jump out of their car to ask for directions.

6. Seriously, moonbounce houses are amazing!
