10 Things Parenting Taught Me That You Won’t Be Able To Learn From Any Book

My name is Lee and that little troublemaker you see there is Ava.

We’ve got this sort of tag-team thing going on here. A sort of good cop, bad cop, little and large, slim and not-so-slim… tall and… well, you get it…

I’ve been journaling our journey through this new world of ours over on Instagram and have been making a point of keeping it as real as I can. Yes, there may be a little photoshop wizardry on a few photos but that sick you’ll see – that’s real. Very real and so is me getting pulled apart daily by an ever increasingly active tornado of a toddler.

You’ll read about me not having a clue, asking endless questions and quite quickly realising that there are some things those books and YouTube videos just don’t tell you…

So that’s where I come in and that’s where this post comes in. Yes, it’s only 10 but at least it’s a head start. I’m currently working on the other 934, 454, 210 things you’ll need to know – but I’ll save that for a future article!
