I would love to hear thoughts from other moms. Here are some I culled from my weekend.
You know you’re a mom when… In need of a napkin, you reach into your purse and pull out the toddler sock hanging out in there.
You know you’re a mom when… Someone is asking for “Princess Fruit Snacks” and you look at the clock to realize it’s 4 a.m., and that little one is actually talking in her sleep.
You know you’re a mom when… You can count on one hand the number of times you’ve had a full-night’s sleep in the last three years.
You know you’re a mom when… Playing in the kiddie pool in the backyard counts as a bath.
You know you’re a mom when… You understand the difference between Yu gi-oh Cards and Pokemon Cards and you know better than to mix the two.
You know you’re a mom (or a dad!) when… The theme song for the “Backyardigans” comes on and not only hum along, you know all the words.
You know you’re a mom when… You tear up watching a little boy cry about the itching under his cast and you know there’s nothing you can do about it and it’s another four weeks before it comes off.
You know you’re a mom when… Dinner and a movie means breakfast indoors on a blanket, corn dogs and “The Wiggles.”
You know you’re a mom when… You spend 10 minutes searching for that must-have toy that has to be seen before leaving for school that day.
You know you’re a mom when… Evening reading includes “Dora the Explorer,” “The Avengers” and “Harold and the Purple Crayon.”
You know you’re a mom when… Despite spending 20 minutes helping a little girl fall asleep in her own bed, you warmly welcome her into yours four hours later rather than repeat the process at 1 in the morning.
