Thank you for daring to step into our lively home, shared with a teething toddler, a spirited preschooler, and two exhausted parents. Your presence means a lot to us, and as a token of appreciation, I’d like to extend a few apologies for the unique experience you may have had during your stay – quite different from a serene night at a hotel.
I apologize for the delightful chaos that is our morning routine, especially when my toddler decided to serenade you with an enthusiastic rendition of “The Wheels on the Bus” at 6 a.m. on a Saturday. I know, it’s an early wake-up call!
I’m sorry that our yogurt options were limited to cotton candy-flavored push-up tubes. Not exactly gourmet, right?
I regret that you were startled when you found our potty chair insert and it unexpectedly serenaded you with Disney princess tunes. I can imagine how that might catch you off guard!
My sincerest apologies for the sticker collection my toddler decided to create on your skin – including some rather unconventional placements!
I also regret that you noticed a bit of dust around the house. I had time for one chore before your arrival, and the vacuum won out this time. Next time, I promise more shine, although crumbs may still be on the floor.
I apologize for the frequent sightings of a naked little one during your visit; we’re deep into potty training here.
I’m sorry we had to dine out at 4 p.m. to avoid the judgmental eyes of other patrons watching my kids make a mess. Let’s remember takeout next time, shall we?
I also regret that the baby’s cries disrupted your sleep during the night, as we try our hand at “cry it out.” (A little controversial, I know!)
Our adult conversations had to be held in whispers once the kids were asleep – I hope you understand, #lightestsleepersever.
I apologize that one of you had to enjoy your meal while standing, as our dining chairs are currently occupied by a booster and a baby seat.
And lastly, there’s a good chance you might catch a little cold after your visit, thanks to what we call “The Daycare Special,” courtesy of our little ones.
Yes, a home without children is quite different from one with them. But despite the changes and challenges, we hope you’ll remember the warmth and love that fills our home. You are always welcome, even if it means less privacy, less sleep, but an abundance of affection.
