Learning

As I was thinking about what I was going to write about in this post, I discovered it's another "It's funny that... when you have kids." passage. Didn't plan it but like I said in my previous post, there are a lot of these sentences! So here it goes....

It's funny that you learn so much about yourself when you have kids. I could write several, several paragraphs about this as you learn SO much about yourself when you are a parent. Maybe someday I will go into depth on the numerous other things I have learned. For now I will write about two that became aparent to me today.
One being I cannot use a straightening iron and curling iron on my hair and sing non-stop without becoming short of breath. And I'm not that out of shape! My boys keep me VERY active! I don't know what it is but it is impossible not to become short of breath doing these two things at once. I discovered this by only being able to get ready this morning but singing fun, crazy kiddie type songs constantly, otherwise my baby was crying at me. The songs made him happy and me get ready. Score!
The other thing I learned about myself thanks to my kids is actually another thanks to my youngest. I cannot sing "Rockin' and a rollin', rockin' and a rollin'...." without dancing. Yep, it's impossible. Go ahead, try it. I'll wait..... See? It's impossible not to shake your hips and bootie while singing this song. My youngest loves to roll and roll and roll and sometimes gets on all fours and rocks back and forth so I sing this song to him a lot anymore because it fits and it's fun. Every time, no matter what, I gotta dance. I tried not to and it's just not as fun. The song looses it's funness. :) Not a word, I know, but it works.

Now go ahead and sing and dance a little yourself! :)
