You know they say you never stop learning. Well, I learned something new the other day. It isn't something life altering, in fact, it is probably something that I could have figured out if I had thought about it...soap sticks to walls!
How did I come to learn this? From a 2 year old! I was in the bathroom cleaning and I looked out in the hall and saw something on the wall. It was about hip high, round and off white. I knew immediately what it was but I had to look at my son and ask him anyway. "What" I said "is on the wall?" "Soap" he said with a big grin. Then he proceeded to remove it and show me again how he could swirl it around on the wall until it would stay. A short time later to his disappointment he figured out that it wouldn't stay very long and that was the end of my soap wall decor.
Life with a 2 year old is filled with these revelations, both for him and for myself. Time passes so quickly and one day I'm sure he will roll his eyes at me for finding these simple little things so endearing.
