Two toddlers in the house

Some word of wisdom to anyone considering raising toddlers or some laughs to anyone that is already there...

*Someone will get hurt when playing chase
*One child will need some sort of thing as soon as you sit down
*Where ever they snack, will need to be vacuumed at least once a day
*Expect to step in water when retrieving them from bathtub
*Never ever expect to sleep great once they are sleeping through night
*Expect someone in your face in middle of night or bright and early (see above)
*Do not expect them to eat what you put in front of them
*Expect out of nowhere loving and hugging
*Try to appreciate your children at least once a day, they grow so fast
*Expect pee on floor when you just scrubbed the bathroom
*If you have 2, it will be monkey see monkey do... Like climbing the ladders at Home Depot or touching cactus plants at Home Depot
*If you let them snack outside of table expect to sit in crumbs on couch
*Pop Tarts are ok for breakfast...sometimes
*They only get bloody noses, lips or owies when you are wearing white
*They learn signs and logos very early. Like Target and Chuck E Cheese
*The will announce in public that they tooted

CPSIA

So I was finally feeling better after 1st trimester, I wanted to sew some dolls for my etsy website. I am on Twitter and I noticed through others there was a new law by the CPSIA that toys intended for children under 12 be tested for lead. I cannot afford this testing so I tried to read up on it. It has been delayed until Feb 10, 2010. I still will sign every petition I am asked to sign. I believe we need to buy less toys from China. They are the ones that broke laws, I haven't seen one handmade toy harm a child. Here is a Monkey for sale in my store now
