    Check out more Post-It Note Tuesday posts over at SupahMommys.
    It is the funnest and most colorful meme in the blogosphere!

    The inspiration for this post about firsts that DON’T make the baby book came to me while doing laundry recently. Wonder what the inspiration was? It is the very first Post-It.


    I’m sure you have some of your own! Let’s hear ‘em!

    Wondering where that baby book is anyway,

      First spitting up just as you hand that beautiful baby off to someone dressed in their Sunday best!

      I absolutely remember the exact moment that I realized being a Mom was going to be harder than anticipated. It was the night I brought my Pumpkin home from the hospital and I couldn't stop checking on her.

      The first time your child tells a complete stranger they're fat. Or the first time they ask someone who is overweight if they are going to have a baby.

      First curse word. First note home from the teacher. First booger eaten. I could go on and on. Great idea!

      First time your boy decides he can't wear characters on his shirts or underwear.

      The first time our oldest daughter, a lovely teenager, snuck out of the house at night and we laid in her bed waiting for her to sneak back in. Punishment: picking up dog poop at 6 am.

      Great post!

      Lol! These are awesome!! Pure genius.

      How about, first time poop shoots from babies bottom all the way across the room. My son did more than one time, including all over me, on my birthday.

      Or first time they learn the art of manipulation, "I'll be quiet if you give such and such to me."

      I recognize all these firsts! Remember that first when toddling baby decides to go all natural in public?

      Ha!! These are great.

      I have a friend who is expecting a little boy… all he has ever dealt with are girls. I warned him from my experience with two little bothers that he will most likely get pee in his face. Not fun.

      I've been through many of those firsts myself.

      I remember each one of those from each one of my kids…along with first tall tale about who broke that, first projectile vomiting session and first picking their nose and wiping it on someone. I didn't put it in their baby books but I've been filling my oldest in on all of it lately because she is expecting her first in a little over a month. Her reaction: WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME??? lol

      How about first swear word from your little one? Ours was Dammit, muttered under the breath, while trying to fix something. I have NO idea where he heard that one :)

      Ha-Ha – those are too funny. How about 1st time they ignore you in front of their friends.

      Thanks for stopping by mine. – I am one of the few mothers at my daughter's bus stop – the kids down at mine don't listen to a word I say. They just keep doing annoying things! Lol. Oh well – hope you have a great day♥

      Absolutely…

      don't forget the first full on vomit in the carseat … after they've of course eaten cheese … yuck!

      Wow, lots of firsts. Happy PINT!

      Ha ha! I totally agree… Also – that first projectile vomiting.. or projectile pooing… The first time your baby throws fruit purees over her grandmother's face… The first time they draw on the walls and floor with indelible ink… Oh, and the first time they paint the outside of the yellow house with bright purple paint!

      1st slap of mommy's face in front of a ton of people you just told your child is an absolute angel!

      Oh and I so can't wait for the 1st eye roll….just can't wait!

      One of our very best "firsts" took place yesterday, when Grace ran into the men's restroom at the park and came back out holding a huge wad of toilet paper, the end of which was still connected to a roll in the bathroom stall. Who knows what else she explored while she was in there…thank god there were no witnesses!

      Ahhh Yes….the first time they ask "why cant I have a Louie Vuitton Bag"….at 12 years sold….the first time they talk back..or call you a bitch under their breath…the first time you smell cigarette smoke…and on and on ..you get the drift..its comin..Lolol..!..well no the Louie bag..Bwhahahah..!

      Oh Man, can I relate to SO many of those! The pee in the face. We had our first "public" outing potty training accident when we went to our friends' new house (or should I say new mansion). Their guest house is bigger than our house! And it could not just happen once but twice!

      Girls can projectile pee too, at least mine did anyway!

      Our unmentionable first would be floaters during bathtime…I hate cleaning up after that, which is why Daddy is sole bather now.

      First projectile vomit (aunt's birthday party, last verse of happy birthday), first awkward time he saw someone extremely different in public and HAD to ask LOUD questions(like when he noticed a person that was a dwarf *sorry if that's not the PC term, idk*, and the first time he relayed a private convo(gossip) to the subject.

      All very uncomfortable for Mommy!

      How about first contemptuous-sounding dismissal by saying "stooopid!" under one's breath but audibly of course…

      I remember vividly when my daughter first rolled her eyes at me. She was 2. She didn't say 'whatEVah' to me but she may as well have.

      Here is a real one…
      First time your child tells you that you have 'witch hairs' growing out of your head. (My husband couldn't control his sniggering as I whipped around on the car ride to church, saying "What?!" and my son innocently says, "She means those gray hairs." Went to have the roots colored the next day.)
      Enjoy the day!
