I love my daughter. I love her to pieces. Can't imagine my life without her, but as every parent knows, there are some things about parenthood I could do without (unless you're one of those crazy, over-involved parents who actually likes changing diapers, wiping snot, and cleaning cheerios out of every crevice in your house, in which case, I have one word for you: Nut Job). Herein, in the rant for which none of you will feel sympathy, I list some of the things I will not miss about early toddlerhood:
1. I will be sooooo glad when the first finger on my right hand no longer smells permanently of Desitin. Seriously...
2. I will be forever grateful when my bathroom no longer looks like this on a regular basis:
3. I'll be super-excited when I can walk into my kid's bedroom and not be met by a wall of diaper-smell. It doesn't seem to matter how often we clean/empty the trashcan. The smell abides.
4. I will not miss the daily force-brushing of teeth that only results in tears, screaming, and biting:
5. I will gladly bid a not-so-fond farewell to the nightly pajama wrangling that usually ends in more screaming, along with some thrashing, kicking, and overall unhappiness.
As I said above, I know no one is going to feel sorry for me, but sometimes, you just need to unload.

JJ loves having his teeth brushed, but so much so that when we stop, he gets mad and wants the toothbrush back. Otherwise, I sympathize with you...especially on the food being everywhere now. Bleh.
