Things I Learned in 2010

I learned that I can be happy everyday.  Being happy is a choice.
Netflix is amazing - minus that 28 day rule.
I somehow forgot that training a puppy is endlessly annoying.
Wyatt remembers everything except no throwing things in the house.
I learned to endorse co-sleeping. My son sleeps with me.  This will not always be the case. Deal with it.
Lizzy will always get what she wants. (see: iPad for xmas, extra 5G's off tuition for No apparent reason, the bigger bedroom, Dr's notes to get out of finals, a boyfriend, a job she goes to when she feels like it, a handicap parking space, etc, etc.)

I am still learning to taking a deep breath and do things that aren't the popular choice but the right choice for me.
The older Wyatt gets the more assured I become that his name is absolutely perfect for him.
Smart phones are a blessing and a curse, I now understand the term crackberry.
Cute dogs can still be stupid.
I spend more time worrying then events actually warrant.
Wyatt is perfectly adaptable in every situation.

I learned that living with a toddler is ENDLESSLY amusing.
I really enjoy camping and would like to start a yearly tradition.
Potty training was wicked easy. (Yes, I am rubbing it in.)
I have perfected the art of completely blocking/ignoring people.
I love my adventure dates with Wyatt, we are the perfect explorers.
I cannot squirt shaving cream one-handed. I will shoot myself in the face.

First days of school are nerve-wracking, no matter who is going.
I learned that 10 years is a long time to harbor silly insecurities.  Let. It. Go. Already.
The Magic Kingdom castle is magical at any age.
Having a best friend that works in the medical field is AMAZING.  I can never feel stupid about calling Jen at 2am to talk about Wyatt's runny nose.
I can get totally lost and engrossed in a book.
Wyatt will entertain, astound, and enlighten me everyday of my life.

The best moment of my day is picking up Wyatt and having him run into my arms.
I learned how to recognize what I want and to believe that I am worth it.
I am a sucker for new technology.
Traveling by yourself is kind of lonely and kind of liberating.
I learned that Lizzy's idea of babysitting is watching Wyatt and the Jersey Shore at the same time.
Some of my best nights are spent with my girls.

After years of spending New Years Eve in Times Square, I would never imagine myself so content to spend it in bed at 9pm with a super cuddly 2 year old.  The perfect way to bring in the new year!
I have learned more life lessons from Wyatt then I ever thought possible.
I am a social person and when I don't interact with people I just get weird.
Lock up your Damn underwear already!
I am a really good mom and am really proud of that.
I have so much more to learn.
