when stinky diapers no longer bother you, when you have been vomited on, when you never get much sleep

-When Fisher Price is the name brand of your household

-When you can’t remember the last time you peed alone.

-If you got a dollar for everytime you said “No” and “Stop” in a day, you wouldn’t have to work another day of your life.

-when throwing a burping cloth over your shoulder is part of your morning routine, like putting on underwear on.

-When you start refering to your husband as “Daddy”, hoping the baby will catch on. (I called him by his first name the other day and he didn’t turn around right away…)

-When there’s nothing more exciting than the 17yr girl across the street saying she’s not busy this coming Friday night.

When you’re talking to someone with food on their face and have to resist the urge to lick your thumb and wipe it off.

When you finally get a night out and spend it wondering what the kids are doing.

When you refer to yourself as “mommy/daddy” even when your kids aren’t around.

When your ears perk at the sound of a child crying, even when your kids aren’t with you.

When you get excited over a meal at a place that doesn’t involve cartoon characters or playgrounds.

When you DO get excited over meals at places with cartoons and slides.

I know I’ve crossed over into parenthood when;

I’m covered in snot, it’s not mine and I don’t care.

I open my car door, and toys, snacks, and diapers fall out

I put my groceries in the back seat because my trunk is full of miscellanous child related crap

A great Friday night is when she goes to bed early, so I can too!

When people say hello and how are you, I know its my child and not me they’re talking to and I don’t care.

When you’ve memorized Goodnight Moon.
When your keys get lost for months in the toy box.
When you’re home before 8:00 every night.
When you can’t pee without someone standing outside the door cheering you on.
When you have to explain the stickers covering all of your groceries to the lady at the check-out. (Happened to me last night & by that time daddy had taken the sticker-monster to the arcade – so she must have thought I was crazy.)
When you’ve had it up to here and that lil guy gives you the sweetest smile and your heart just melts.

When my husband calls on his way home from work and the first thing I tell him about is how many times the baby pooped today.

When I’m standing in front of the mirror doing my hair and I catch myself singing the song from the cartoon Wilbur.

When you are at a full playground and a child stats to cry and you instatnly recognize his shriek patterns and know it is you kid whose crying

When you can change a fully loaded diaper without a cringe

When you are making (and eating) macaroni and cheese for dinner the fourth time this week because thats the only thing your child will eat

When picking out a new purse you only look for ones that fit a sippy cup and an extra diaper

When you are discussing other peoples bathroom functions in a public restroom while your 3 year old is sitting on toilet trying to go.
when you have the dora, diego, kai-lan, backyardigins, songs in your head and they aren’t even on the tv
when you have torn the house apart for 30 mins trying to find that night time toy only to discover your child laid them down for a nap in your bed
when you can understand perfectly what your babbling 17 mo old is referring to even though he is not speaking english at all
when you can calmly walk out of the house with your child dressed up as a princess with penguin slippers and you are just happy she has a coat on
when you clean up mysterious liquids off of the floor and dont even question what it is this time
when you have uttered the phrase – stopping pooping on my floor! more than once in a single day and you aren’t talking to an animal

okay i may come back for more but you have to tell me if i got a smile on your face first.
