I never had to do hospital corners, but I did crawl into bed from the top to keep it tightly tucked. Now, I don't even make my own bed, and my daughter's blankets are messily tucked all about her as she goes to sleep. But the kisses and hugs are plentiful, so I doubt she'll miss the taut covers at all. i did love that tightly tucked blanket over me – had nearly forgotten.

Oh my God! Me too!! That's an awesome skill to have. The bullies don't think you're running from them (when you are). And the teachers won't stop you for running in the hallway. But it takes lots of practice. “I learned how to run but look as if I was walking.”

Having affectionate kids speaks volumes about the type of parent you are. Well, they kiss whatever is nearest, a knee, a hip, a forearm, an elbow.
