Talk about being a lifelong learner.\u00c2\u00a0 As I go through each day exploring with my son and learning from my mistakes, I think about the revelations that I have arrived at over the weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 The list is certainly adaptable, but here are a few that immediately come to mind …<\/p>\n
1. The new grandparents, who used to enter your house and ask how you were, now start a conversation with the query \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where is he?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

9.\u00c2\u00a0You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind looking like a fool in public, as long as it calms the baby.<\/p>\n
10.\u00c2\u00a0You will dredge up lyrics from every song that you have ever memorized in the hopes that this next one may calm the crying baby.<\/p>\n
