Sometimes as parents we realize that there are important life lessons in all the little things we do.

Two important things I was able to teach my children without even thinking about it:

1.Don’t draw on your face because mommy is going to forget to wash it off in the mad rush to find two matching socks and you will have to go to school that way.

2.Be sure to give me school reminders, don’t expect me to find them in your backpack or you will be wearing that magic marker warpaint in your school pictures or at your spring concert.

I think I’m a natural at this parenting thing.
