As I was cleaning pee out of Matthew's ear . . . STOP. Did that phrase get your attention? If so, I would bet that you are not the parent of a small boy. A parent of a small boy would find cleaning pee out of an ear a pretty mundane event, I dare say.
So, anyway, as I was cleaning pee out of Matthew's ear, I was thinking how different life is pre- and post-babies. Before having kids, I can say with great certainty that I had never cleaned pee out of anyone's ear. Other things that seem normal now, but were not pre-kiddos:
- realizing in the middle of an adult function that I am wearing a noodle necklace
- hearing the mail arrive and thinking, "Ooooh, I hope it is the Happi Tummi gas relief band!"
- responding to the call "Come see what I did!" from the bathroom
Worth it? 100%.
Oh, and by the way, chocolate pudding is really yummy and really fun!

Kendall,
As your cousin, I feel obliged to tell you the terrible truth. Babies are, well, pretty gross. Babies have appalling personal hygiene. For baby boys, couple this with a complete inability to aim and an apparent unwillingness to learn from past mistakes and you have a recipe for disaster. I won't even tell you where I've cleaned poo from or else you'll never have kids.

Christine,
You've got to be kidding me -- you've never cleaned pee out of an ear? Please tell me that you've cleaned pee from other places. Face? Hair? Maybe I am just really awful at quick diaper changes . . .
