Last night we invited over our friends who we hadn't seen in ages over for dinner. They have two boys: a three-year old and a one-and-a-half year old.
Here are the top 10 lessons I learned from last night:
1. Our house is way too small
2. When a group of toddlers gets together they will all naturally gravitate towards the loudest toys possible
3. Herding cats is easier than herding little boys
4. It is next to impossible to have an adult conversation when you are on referee duty
5. Always have a "plan B" on the menu
6. Make sure to put away the choking hazards before the one-and-a-half year old finds them and puts them in his mouth
7. Block off the staircase to avoid all hell breaking loose on both levels of the house
8. It is possible to break the sound barrier right in your own home!
9. Electronic devices should be put out of reach to head off any unauthorized computing
10. A light coloured couch probably wasn't the smartest of choices
Although it was really nice to see everyone, I think our next gathering needs to be in the great outdoors where we can let our children out to pasture to run.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that this morning I got a phone call reporting that one of the visiting boys starting puking after he got home last night.
