Okay, here you go....
They never know what day it is.
You have to cut up their food up into bite sized pieces.
They stand and or sit way too close to the T.V.
They fall a lot
The dresses little girls wear now, remind me of the Moo-Moo's my Mom used to wear.
(or is it Muu Muu's? Hell if I know. I just pray I will never wear one.)
They get upset when you get annoyed that they shit in the bath tub, yet again.
They like to show off their boo-boo's to their friends, over and over.
They forget what they were going to say.

Both yell from the bathroom, "I can't get my pants up."

You have to make every meal for them.

They have no filter at all.
When either one is quiet for too long, it could mean trouble. The toddler has probably confused his shitty diaper with play-doh. The elder is trying to rearrange their room by themselves.
Wiping dirty faces
Reminding them what people's names are when they see them. Then they still don't remember them.
When waking them up you can easily trick them that it's morning and they missed their favorite show on T.V when it's really four o'clock in the afternoon.
You have to repeat yourself over and over because they either can't hear you or they've tuned you out.
You have to explain to them why taking a bath is important and must be done everyday.
Naps.. Thank God.. (enough said)
They do not have an inside voice!
Sometimes they have problems getting all their food in their mouth.
Able to fall asleep in any position at any moment.
Sometimes when telling a story, they make no sense at all. All you can do is look at them and say:"What the hell are you talking about?"

Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteOMG! I've started! ;)

Haha! I'm sure you have a way to go.

I know how difficult it must have been for you while taking care of your mom. My mom is taking care of my grandma, who suffers from the same. It's very difficult to watch that and as my mom says to try and remember the person they were before. You are right about the similarities to little children, although sadly, not as cute. I applaud you for doing this, again, I know just how difficult it is and I can't imagine doing that, while also raising your own family.
ReplyDeleteSilence always seems to signal trouble, doesn't it? ironically it's all we want sometimes, but boy does it cost us...
ReplyDeleteI don't want to admit how many of these are true about ME!
ReplyDeleteLOL.. I'm getting there too.
DeleteI feel guilty, but I couldn't stop laughing. What a blessing to have been able to have her together with your kids those last few years. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel guilty! It's meant to be funny!!!!
DeleteOMG... too funny but oh so true... my sister looked after our grandmother and the stories she had to tell... lol, my sister has patience.. not so sure I would ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG what a great post and lovely pictures! Your mom was as beautiful as her grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteTotally reminds me of the "Why kids are like drunk people" meme. Too funny. I have an Andrew as well. Love the pics of your mom w/ ur kids. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteI worked with elderly for years and I have toddlers, so I was sitting here nodding like a maniac! Too true and so funny!
ReplyDeleteI've thought that many times-how we start out and end up in diapers... This was funny and true! Thanks for hooking up with us at the Humor Me Blog Hop. Come back soon!
