Everything I need to know I learned from my baby

Eating and Drinking

- It's perfectly acceptable to be cranky and fussy if you haven't eaten in three hours. Throw a fit and get some grub.

- Messy eating is okay, as long as you laugh and smile while you do it. Go ahead, smear that food on your face.

- Food in your hair washes out. Food on the ceiling may not.


Bathing and Bathroom

- If you have to go, just go! Don't let anything stand in your way, even a half hour drive to the next rest area.

- Splashing in the bathtub can be quite fun. Don't be afraid to get innocent (dry) bystanders involved.

- Rubber ducks can and should be used.

Socializing

- If you greet everyone with a big smile, they will almost always be happy to see you.

- Insomnia is best experienced with others. If you can't sleep, wake up the others and have a little 3am party.

- Crying is a pretty good way to get attention if used properly.
