    I really like this idea. And my f#1 would be the same as yours, of all the things I do well, housework is not one of them! LOL

    Hahaa! I love random fact posts! I'm totally with you on #1 #15 and #18! You have me beat on #19 though. I had a C-section but it wasn't my first surgery. My first one was when I had my wisdom teeth cut out. Actually, I don't know if you should consider that a surgery when you compare it to a C-section, haha!!

    Oh no, I can't stand those big booms in thunderstorms! I especially hate when a large clap wakes me up!

    I don't mind people chewing with their mouth open half as much as I mind the sound effects that some people make when they eat. Loud chewing drives me up the wall!!

    How fun that your nanny is babysitting your little! I picked out names for my kids too, when I was little. I remember Jennifer for a girl...but that's not what I named my daughter. :)

    Don't worry, clowns freak me out a little too! It's probably from watching the Stephen King's IT movie when I was a kid!

    This is a great idea. I see lists often, but this is the first one I've seen done just for the kids. What a great idea to add to a baby book as well.

    I actually cried when I heard I was having a boy - so I can totally relate. I had no clue what I would do with one. Now I couldn't be happier - I've found my groove with raising a little boy. :)

  23. Hanan @ EAT. CRAFT. PARENT.February 10, 2014 at 12:25 PM

    6/22/09 =) We got married at the courthouse, since we didn't have the money for a big wedding, already had our oldest, and was pregnant with our now four year old. Monday was cheaper than the weekend. =P
