For You Mom's... & Sam .. Riva's Guide to Happiness

[Auld Manriva]

It's summer.. yes, don't try to deny it. And I've been reading a lot of rants and raves about yer RugRats driving you all completely crazy go nutz... SO, I've developed this handy guide suitable for cutesy ceramic magnet hanging on your heavily fingerprinted Refrigerators... YEP, been there done that happy to finally have an empty nest..... for the most part. I AM a step-grandfather for all love..

 

My Blog.. Dawgriver.com

 

I have to send you there, because otherwise the guide is too small for anyone to make out a third of it.

[Torrie]

lol Auld!

 

 

I have threatened my kids with a dog cage. (not meaning it of course)

[Auld Manriva]

Yes Torrie... That one had particularly fond memories for me as well ;D

[twinflower]

*shakes head and chuckles*

 

I personally like the babysitter choice...self portrait manny?  LOL  Those of us that know and love you won't buy it and still will make you stay with baby!  After all you have the guide!

[Auld Manriva]

You know this is true Twin... It took me a good few minutes of head scratching to figure out what was so funny about it! To me it looked to be ALL GOOD!  ;D

 

 

 

my younger brother "got practiced" on by me early on whilst I perfected my "sitter chops" before my Mom started hiring me out to friends. He comments on the blog (the baby wash technique was actually used on him... by me) and has been carrying the scars of my care taking all his days since 8)

So... bonding over coffee and teaching her how to play chess is a bad thing? *blinks*

[Auld Manriva]

I guess so Lor.. I didnt start coffee until I was eight. But down here I was considered a late bloomer...  or something to do with bloomers. OH Snap!!!.. I know what it was. I used them to store my wall mural media!

[U4ea]

LMAO

 

Ah, well. Peanut is already drinking sweet tea. ;)

[Samuraiflip05]

I like the clearing out baby's nose one....lol.  Reminds me of this....

 

[Auld Manriva]

Ahhh... Dad taught I take it ;D

[U4ea]

LMAO

 

Do you give them lessons on how to do that or is it just instinct?

[Samuraiflip05]

It could be instinct....but it's prolly a learned behavior as well.  :D

[U4ea]

*laughs* I was just wondering, because I've caught Peanut's fingers up there a time or two over the last few days. *eyes Dana*

[LordDaemonDracos]

Very good Riva

 

But Lor I do think it be instinct. We all seem to want to stick our fingers where they donna belong at that age.

[Taei]

Little kids do whatever they feel like. If their nose itches, they scratch it, doesn't matter if it itches on the inside or the outside. hehe

[Torrie]

Wait till she walks over holding her finger up to you telling you she has a booger, then tries to wipe it on you. Euwwwwww.

 

 

 

;D

[Taei]

Or comes up to you with a boogger on her finger and a look of accomplishment and says "Look mommie! Look!" Like it's the best prize in the world. lol

[U4ea]

LMAO

 

Lovely. There are many things in this kid's life I can totally wait for... that one ranks pretty high up there. *laughs*

[Taei]

Oh, it will happen, believe me... lol had all four of mine do it.

[Samuraiflip05]

Okay so, can we call them boogers....instead of Buggers.....has bad connotations in Europe.  :D

[Taei]

lol, fine, better Sam? lol

[Torrie]

I dont think it is you, Sam. I just have bad spelling.  :D

[Samuraiflip05]

Lol....yep much better.  Bugger is an uncomfortable act elsewhere.  ;D

[Torrie]

lol!

 

I did not even think of that!

[U4ea]

We call them boogies. As in the dance and the short-version of a surf board. My husband wanted to call them bogeys, since that's what you shoot for in aircraft training missions. I'm sure you can see why I won that little war. *laughs*
