Here is what I have learned..
1. Silence is DEADLY
2. Don't shower while he is awake.
3. Don't leave him alone to entertain himself...
4. Nothing is childproof..
5. Nothing cannot be climbed, eaten, digested etc.
6. He is worth every minute!
7. Lock all your doors... all the time!
8. Check your vents for hidden treasures (jewelry, earrings, makeups, and some cars)...
9. Count your blessings daily that he is yours and yours forever!
10. LAUGH every single time, because he is only this small for a while!
11. hug, kiss, and love on him every chance you get!
12. PATIENCE
13. Never take a minute for granted.
14. Rock him and read him stories...
15. Time outs are seeming to be effective
16. Cars are not a quiet toy.. they crash, make loud noises etc.
17. Cherish a full nights rest!
18. Cuddle him in your bed...
19. Thomas the train, Barney can be a lifesaver!
20. Parks are heaven sent.. no mess to clean up after!
21. Always have a dog... George loves his Ginger to death!
22. Pray with them.
23. laugh with them.
24. don't leave dog food at Georges level... he may eat the whole bag.
25. Don't put anything on or near your changing table... it will get eaten.
26. Give them a bath before bed!
27. Write down all these funny memories so you never forget them.
28. If you can't distract him just go sit in the car... you as the passenger him as the driver with no keys! (entertainment for at least an hour)
29. Cherish every minute you have
30. Look at all the fingerprints on the wall daily (and door knobs, and windows, mirrors) and be glad there is Windex
31. Really think twice about going to the bathroom... a lot of damage can be done in just a quick minute!
32. Enjoy each new word and new skill they learn.
33. Make animal noises all the time...
34. Make sure there are no pens laying around... he likes coloring the most on what is not paper!
35. watch him closely when using crayons.. it just may get eaten!
36. horsie rides around the living room again and again beat lagoon..
37. Dishwashers are a great stepping stool to counter tops.
38. TORNADOS are not just created by bad weather... They happen right in this house daily!
3. Love them like crazy, cause they grow so dang fast!
These are just some simple things that had to be learned the hard way around our house...
Here is some proof:

Who seriously doesn't love desitin... some on their bums, some in their mouths!
He loves climbing up the toilet and onto the counter so he can get into all the good stuff. Here he realized he had been caught! He enjoys throwing whatever he finds on the bathroom floor to see if it breaks... Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't!
Flour anyone?
Clearly I have been missing out..

Busted! (I wonder who the ring leader was on this one)
Maybe look at their clothes and you might get a better idea.
And this is just cute... we got him a toilet! He mostly like it for a seat while watching Thomas!
who really thought that halloween candy topiaries were a good idea...
Horsie rides.. he prefers getting bucked off!
Look at this kid... Never would he do those things righT?
With all of this said....George is such a joy! I absolutely love being this boys mother! I am so glad I got such a little vibrant, and sweet spirit in my home. He is a crack up. I see a lot of his daddy and myself in him. He is determined. He loves to have a good time. His little personality will go along way as long as I keep it headed in the right direction! I complain and share his funny stories mostly because I sometimes can't believe the imagination of a young little boy... But I also can't begin to explain the love I feel for this kid ALL DAY LONG! He is everything I have ever dreamt of having.... Now I just need to be the mother he deserves!
Bring on another little BOY! ( but please can you make this one a tattle tale so he can follow behind George and let his mom in on the secrets!)

I love you and love learning more funny things about George. That is a fun post to read!! What a perfect mom!
Thanks for all the good tips! George is so cute I can hardly stand it!
ha ha ha ha! George is adorable :) Congrats on another sweet boy!
LOL! He is so funny! Love his little personality! I also am in love with all of your decorations...super cute. You will be perfect at raising boys. If you need help, you can always call my mother-in-law...she raised 5, no girls, and she's still alive ;) Xoxoxo
George is so stinking cute! It looks like he keeps you busy...just what you need with a husband in med school right?
I love it! Too funny. He just came with his own personality to keep you on your toes. Evan's two favorite things are Thomas and Barney- they really are meant to be buddies!
George is my favorite! So mischievous. That picture of him and Jack with the flour all over is priceless! So funny!
