What I’ve learned from kindergarten

• Green paint doesn’t come out of new school clothes, even after being soaked in bleach overnight.
• 7:45am comes really fast when you’re trying to get three kids and a mom out the door.
• Kids are good at spreading germs.
• Sick days can be a blessing in disguise.
• 4 hours actually go pretty fast.
• Late-night blogging quickly falls by the way side when the alarm is set for 6:30 am.
• Moms can get a lot more done in the morning when everyone is ready shortly after dawn.
• Little brothers and sisters get more attention from mom when the kid-count is reduced to two.
• Little brothers and sisters push each others’ buttons more often when big sister isn’t around to mediate.
• Teachers are better at explaining how to form “s”s than mommies are.
• Kindergartners aren’t very good at rehearsing the details of their day.
• 20 minutes isn’t nearly long enough to eat lunch when mama isn’t there to prod.
• Mommies can survive for a few hours each day without all their babies at home.
