I often learn new tidbits that I had never previously caught or thought of, and even more often, I learn something entirely new.

Partly I think it was his game face, like basketball players who get tapped and fall over in hopes that the ref will call a foul. Or maybe it was more like the kid who thinks he'll get out of dish washing duty if he breaks a few.

But one thing that surprised me once I had kids is how much I didn't mind changing diapers. Someone reminded me that it's holy work, and I felt so blessed to have a baby that I didn't mind it as much as ISusanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-17260980001298735862010-09-01T16:23:06.830-04:002010-09-01T16:23:06.830-04:00Cheryl, there's something triumphant about goi...Cheryl, there's something triumphant about going beyond what we thought we were able to do, isn't there?

Probably because I tend to approach new things with an open mind. If I resent something, it's from a long history of bad experience, as is the case with cleaning and cooking at this point in my life. Occasionally it's neutral, which is a pleasant surprise. I will say that I enjoy cooking and cleaning Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-88849257966586425622010-09-01T09:54:04.116-04:002010-09-01T09:54:04.116-04:00Gina, I'm the same way with cleaning!
