I became acutely aware of the amazing gift of being a mother when my son came home from Iraq after a year-long deployment and I got to see the man he had become.
Aww - this is beautiful. I totally look forward to watching another person's personal growth way more since I became a mother. Thanks to you and your son for your sacrifice.

When you sit on, step on, slide on or trip over tiny little two prong lego pieces all over your house...
Oh, and you have a giant 3,417 piece Death star lego thing on your coffee table. Sigh. Style magazine is gonna pass by house this year...again.

I'm a step mum to two small boys. My "OMG I'm a mum" moments were:
Unexpectedly pulling a small pair of thomas underwear out of my handbag
Saying loudly "NO! Don't paint your penis!"
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Don't paint your penis had me laughing..My hubby was like "OMG what is sooo funny?" Pretty sure I have said that.
When you hold out your hand to catch your childs puke.0 -

This thread is my favorite!!! I can totally relate to everything everyone has already listed!! Never get actual songs stuck in my head.. No way!! It's more like the theme songs for SUPER WHY or WORD WORLD... lol.. Or the songs from his Leap Frog Scout dog.... I can recite word for word the movie Cars.. He eats our food even if he's just eaten his own plate... Our food always seems more appealing to him lol.. When he calls 911 and babbles... When you decide to film him playing in the bath because you never want to forget what he's like at this age, and then all of a sudden he starts peeing in the bathtub.. Not once, but twice... Priceless!
And finally.. you know you're a mom when you never realized just how much you could love another human being until the first time you laid eyes on your child...
I am mom to a 2 yr old boy, and we are going to be trying for another one soon!0 -

This, and said child is napping - and you don't wake him up.
You write the check to the market in crayon.
You tell your son not to lick his flip flop.
You just wait up for baby to wake because its easier to stay up than to wake up.
Your phone has slobber on the screen.
You eat last, do your wash last, shower last and go to the bathroom last.
You can speak to your husband using toddler words for things...and he understands what you said.
You quote Spongebob episodes in regular conversation.
Hordes of WalMart shoppers have seen what color bra you have on because someone wanted to nurse "NOW".
You can't tell if that's grey hair or milk.0 -

Or cookies in ur pockets0 -

...when you start looking forward to seeing kids movies at the movie theater. Because it gets you out of the house into a social environment with other people. Even if its a kids movie.0

-when you are so happy to see poop, and have to share the fact with your partner.

Add to that ...when you're daily conversations include "did you poop today?" because you have to keep track of those sorts of things.0 -

...when you have learned to run on the treadmill while skillfully dodging the toys that are being tossed onto it by your kids, because they like they way they fly off the end.
...when your adult friend asks you to pass them a granola bar, and you open it for them before you hand it to them.
...when one of your most commonly used phrases is "don't put your mouth on that!"
I swear that is all I ever say anymore. 0 -
When the phone rings and you start singing the Wonder Pets theme song. The phone, the phone is ringing. Lol.
Thank you. Now this is stuck in my head. My son is 6 and no longer watches it, but the song remains...0 -
Saw this on the FlyLady website and thought it would fit perfectly here!
IF YOU GIVE A MOM A MUFFIN
If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of coffee to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the coffee. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her... she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee. Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of coffee, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
That is so my life as with so many other ones that have been shared.
-When you have to move the pacifier, sucker, crayons, and toy car in your purse to get to your wallet.
-When you count down the time to nap or bedtime so you can snack with out someone offering to help you or walk up to you and say "Aaahhh"0 -
You start bringing a change of clothes for your children, and yourself when you go out.
You are afraid of anything brown being carried to you on a little finger
All the toilet paper rolls in your house have been moved and place 6 feet up from little ones
Your husband hasn't seen you with your hair down since your child was born
Taking a shower twice a week starts to feel like a accomplishment instead of a problem0 -
When you get a call from the police checking you are ok because someone had made a 999 call from your house phone.
This happened : Someone broke into the wife's car before Christmas and about 2 months later one of our twin daughters asked what the number was for the police. We told her if mummy or daddy was hurt and could not get to the phone she needed to call 999.
When quizzed she told us she had called the police to ask if they had caught the person who stole our stuff.
So sweet we could not be angry. Just had to explain it to her again
