Everything I learned about parenting, I learned from Jurassic Park

While taking care of our new arrival, I've been able to apply the lessons from Jurassic Park while taking care of her:

• If you don't move, she can't see you


• You don't want to be trapped in a locked car with a hungry / angry baby


• Her claws can rip you to shreds if you're not careful


• When you think that you've got her all cleaned up and then she starts to pee or poop on you. Clever girl.


• "Anybody hear that? It's a, um... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here." - that's when you know you're in deep shit because she's just filled her pants. Again.


• If you take don't care of things, you know that the babies are going to run wild and someone's going to have to call in the government to take over


• Even having an all female population of babies, you know that somehow when you turn your back there is going to be more.


• She can't open doors. Yet...
