When you instinctively you put your finger up you're kids nose when there is no tissue to rectify the boogie situation0

The house is quiet and instead of enjoying the peace you start worrying about what is going on.
You suddenly don't only have your own body weight to lift up during a push up but the weight of your 15 month old!
You spend a good amount of time on your hands and knees searching for objects that shouldn't be that hard to find but some how they are hidden in the most interesting places.0 -

When you see a neighbour's kid throw a wrapper on the ground and you immediately respond with "Well you can pick that up right now young man and find a bin for it".

When one of your favourite shows is 'Jane and the Dragon'.
When every DVD you go to buy is a Disney/cartoon.
When you've watched their favourite movie (this case Howl's Moving Castle) so much you almost cry when they hand the DVD to you. But you put it on anyway because they say 'Weez' and 'Tank you'
When you go shopping and you no longer look at a certain food and think, 'What can I put with this?' but rather, 'How can I get____ to eat this?'
When your Youtube account history is filled with Micky Mouse and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
Leaving the toilet door open a bit because you just know they are coming in and will open it anyway!
When you aren't embarrassed to do stupid things in public to make them smile
While walking around the city you let your 3yr old niece hold the map and tell YOU were you're going!
When you realized you don't share your food with THEM, they share with YOU! :drinker:
What's yours isn't in fact yours.... it's theirs.

When you drive a mini van. :sad:
When your garden tub has a baby bathtub in it instead of being used for long soaks in a hot bath.
When your showers are interrupted by an almost 2 year old banging on the shower door and shrieking "rub-a-dub!!" b/c she wants to join you.
When your formal dining room is converted into a play room.
When you've spent over a month planning the epic event - a 2 year old's Garden Tea Party birthday party. :flowerforyou:
Oh - did I mention when you drive a mini van? lol0 -
Oh my gosh! Thank you all so much for the funnies this morning. Just what I needed:happy:
A couple of my own:
~You actually utter phrases like: "Stop sniffing the dogs BUTT!", "No, you CANNOT poop in the yard like the dog. Thanks for asking though.","If you HAVE to pee in the yard, do it on the flowers. Thanks!", "You SNIFF flowers, not SNORT them!", and "Stop eating the dog food! He's hungry too and HE can't have waffles."
~Everything you do is broken down into song (and you aren't the only one singing it)
~Seeing the names of kid shows and you catch yourself singing the theme song to it.
~Think nothing of kissing that teddy bear too at bed time.
~Catch yourself correcting adult speech because they used the wrong tense and want them to "know the difference"
~know there is no point in trying to close the bathroom door because the entire house will try to fit in there the second your fanny makes contact with the seat.
~leaving the house requires a "potty stop" before departure and upon arrival at destination.
~You realize.... You're children are Just. Like. YOU! And that's okay.0 -

when your food diary lists 1/4 chicken nugget, 1/8 serving kraft mac and cheese and 1/4 chocolate chip cookie
you cant do a proper push up probably because youve never tried it without a child sitting on you.
