After living on this earth for nearly 37 years and having had the privilege to have seen and experienced so much, I would have to say after 18 months in my role as MOM, that becoming a parent exposes you to situations that you never even considered as possibilities. It is truly amazing that many of my inhibitions and before-child notions have faded and been replaced by more useful and primitive impulses. Here are a few that come to mind:
Did I ever think I would be wiping my son's boogers from his nose at the playground and unprepared without tissues end up wiping them on my own sleeve?
Did I ever think I would sing in public or hop around like a frog only to do it every week during Cole's music class?
Did I ever imagine that I could read the same book over and over and over and over when I won't even watch the same movie twice?
Did I ever imagine that I would spit into Cole's hand at the park to help wash the dirt away from a new "ouchy"?
Did I ever believe I would voluntarily offer to clean up the poop from the bathtub mishap rather than cook dinner?
Did I ever believe I would be saying such things as "please don't lick the rock"?
