Basic Mom Week in Review - 09/27/15

5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned

1. After getting a face-full of my toddler's pee while trying to get a urine sample, a nurse said, "That wasn't a girl pee, that was a boy pee!"

Lesson: Catheterization and extreme distress make my daughter pee like a boy. Also, having a toddler with a bladder infection is no fun at all.

2. I found some inaccuracies in a puzzle my toddler and I were playing with at the library.

Lesson: Brick Tamland may have been involved in the making of this puzzle.

3. I discovered a new, possibly concerning, mole on my leg:

Nevermind, it was just chocolate of unknown origins:

Lesson: Life would be greatly improved if all medical scares turned out to be mystery chocolate.

4. This conversation, while my toddler was pretending to cook with play food:

Me: Do you have any vegetables?

Toddler: Yeah.

Me: What's your favorite vegetable?

Toddler: Cheese.

Lesson: At least she didn't say ranch.

5. My 6-year-old drew some pretty intricate schematics while she and my husband were putting together a robot kit.

Lesson: This is the one that will take care of me when I'm old.
