"I'll never have a bunch of obnoxiously colored toys in our house." Ha! Thanks for keeping Jacob busy and learning, toys.
"I'll never let him watch any cartoons at all until he is a few years old." Ha! Thanks, Curious George, for keeping my baby quietly entertained next to me when he wakes up much too early and I just need ten more minutes of sleep.
Oh, motherhood- you're good at making me laugh at myself.
Ahhh, I can empathise with this post completely - I always said there would be no television until he was five or something. Thank you, Octonauts for keeping him entertained so I can make dinner!
ReplyDeleteI said the thing about television and that went right out the window. Thank you Backyardigans, when they were on.
ReplyDeletehaha too true, too true.....
ReplyDeletemine would have also included, i'll never let sugar pass his lips 'til he's at least 3!!!

oh goodness this post made me smile from ear to ear and then chuckle out loud. I am writing this as Rowan is watching tv, rocking back and forth on a stupid, ugly and furry pink pony that sings a ridiculous song. haha. Lord help us.
ReplyDeleteOf my new pregnancy, my cousin said to me, "You know… you're not going to have EVERYTHING be vintage, right?" I laughed. Yes, unfortunately, I know that isn't realistic. Sigh. But I do jokingly say things like "Oh, I'm so glad my kids will never throw tantrums in public!" Just to jump the gun on laughing at myself. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, sounds like me.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I should start making a list of resolutions like that. When I become a momma someday, I'm sure I'll break all of them!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Well, your cousin is right. I had sanded and painte and reupholstered a vintage highchair I insisted on using for Jacob Leigh. Then it started to fall apart, he started to climb out of it (no seatbelt or leg divider thing) and it was a pain to clean. I gave in and took a hand-me-down eddie bauer one. it's clunky and not "cute" but it's really nice quality and so much better. Boo! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and having to test toys for lead because you only want vintage ones gets old quickly.
So I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my first and I keep telling myself, I won't always have a gazillion toys lying around the house, but with the toys we already have gotten I can now say that is most likely going out the window. Play on little guy!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, just stumbled upon it!

Yes, it's inevitable! :) I have to tidy up after him a little bit as he plays so it doesn't turn into a disaster zone. I also tidy up when he goes down for his nap so I can have a clean(ish) house for a tiny bit.
ReplyDeleteI think being a mom is synonymous with resolution breaking :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I have company
ReplyDeleteMama has to get stuff done! :)
ReplyDeleteI was so ashamed of myself at first. Everything in moderation, so mama can cook.
