My New Skills

A list of the skills I have acquired since Andon's birth:

1. Catching spit up without getting it on my clothes or on Andon's
2. Doing excessive amounts of laundry. I have developed a close bond with my washer. It now seems strange if a day goes by and I have not washed something.
3. Squats. Andon loves to be bounced. If he is awake and is not eating, then chances are he wants to be dramatically bounced up and down. I have found the best way to achieve maximum bounce is by doing a good squat. By my calculations, I spend about 3 hours of each day doing squats. It's too bad that short season is not coming up, because I am going to have some fierce looking thighs!
4. Preventing poop from getting on the curtains, rug, or any other furniture in Andon's room. Andon, daddy and I have you all figured out. You can't pull that one on us anymore! Excuse me while I knock on wood...and take a minute to throw the curtains in the dryer.
5. Doing anything one-handed...ie. making coffee, eating any meal, typing (I should be in some sort of contest for fastest one hand typer), getting dressed, brushing my teeth, doing dishes, applying make-up, catching spit up without getting it on mine or Andon's clothes, doing excessive amounts of laundry...
6. Completing any of the tasks listed in number 5, one handed, while simultaneously doing squats.
