If there is a hole, they will put something in it.
Sometimes you will want to throw your child out the window and take the next bus to Anywhere He Is Not. This is normal.
Always carry a Ziploc bag with you.
If your friend has a great nanny or babysitter, ask first before you approach her to work for you.
The first year of having an infant is often the worst year of your marital life. You may hate your husband, his friends, his family, his employer, his habits, and every single other thing about him. Therefore, not a great time to make major marital decisions
Scotch tape entertains infants for long periods of time.
Carry a pad of paper and a pen; if forced to sit and wait anywhere, you can entertain the kids or let them draw.
Gift wrap anything you bring on a trip to amuse a child, even things that are not new. Unwrapping will kill time as well as get a kid more excited to play with whatever is inside the fancy paper.
When your child, big or little, throws a tantrum or gets angry, remember that anger is sadness masked and try to get to the bottom of the sadness rather than just punishing its symptoms.
Never ask a question to which you do not want to know the answer.
The days are long and the years are short.
