The Green-Eyed Monster

Let’s face it children are not robots and they do so much more than just sleep, eat and cry. It’s so easy to be jealous of the suspiciously good baby, because not only is the mommy grass always greener, the lawn toys are organized alphabetically.

Each child has their own gifts and challenges. Here are the gifts that make me jealous and I wish upon all your children:

1). The Little Traveler

They are flexible little road trippers that love “Eye Spy” and quietly staring off into space.  

2). No Muss, No Fuss

The dressing and undressing portions of your day are unmemorable and happen without anyone screaming.

3). The Good Sleeper

They love sleep as much as you do.

4). The Good Eater

Your pet name for them is the "Human Garbage Disposal" or "HGD" for short. 

5). Chill, Baby

Even after a sugar rush you can call them mellow yellow.

6).The Stroller Strider

They are as happy as if they were riding on a pony at the fair.

It is important to keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect child, unless of course it’s yours.

The good news is that whatever the struggle, they always make it out the other side.
