You Know Your The Parent of a Toddler If....

1. You always refer to the restroom as "going to the potty" even if there are no kids around.
2. You have peanut butter and jelly fingerprints on almost every wall in the house.
3. Somewhere in your house, there is a one--of-a-kind piece of art drawn right on a wall with crayons, and     sometimes even markers.
4. Speaking of crayons, you rarely have a whole, unbroken crayon with the complete wrapper still on.
5. As you are going about your day, you find yourself humming the tune to Jesus Loves Me, I'm in the Lord's Army, The ABC's or The Wheels on the Bus.
5. Your car/van could feed a small country with all the goldfish crackers, granola bars, and french fries that have fallen under the seats and on the floor.
6. When you are talking with your spouse at the dinner table and don't want the kids to know what you are saying, you spell the key words out.
7. If you don't mop your floors by the kitchen table at least twice a week, your shoes will stick in place when you walk on it.
8.  You look like you have been running outside in a torrential rainstorm at night after you have given your child who loves to splash a bath.
9. Your purse is well stocked with snacks to bribe your child with when you are out at the store.
10. You find whining as the most annoying sound in the entire world.
11. You are at risk at any given moment to step on a Hotwheels car, a Lego, or a My Little Pony, sending you flying to the floor in either the splits or landing on your tailbone.
12. You answer the same question about 56 times in a row only to immediately begin  answering another question 57 times in a row.
13. Whether you want to admit it or not, you sometimes make Kraft Mac N Cheese for supper because "its easy" and you know your kids will eat it.
14. You talk to yourself since no one listens to you anyways.
15. You can survive on 3 hours of sleep for four days.
16. Rarely do your clothes NOT have snot, boogers, yogurt, or some other food substance on them.  This can most often be found on your shoulder or your pants in the knee/thigh area.
17. You crash into bed each night, completely exhausted from a long day of cleaning, re-cleaning, cooking, correcting, etc.

You know your the parent of a toddler if you can identify with one or all of these things, and yet you don't mind (although sometimes get frustrated) because you love your children more than can be expressed into words.

I love being a mommy!

Until next time....
