Mom of Toddlers

Does your car smell like goldfish and is littered with scribble pictures from Sundays gone by?

Do you find small pairs of undies scattered throughout the house (they know how to get them off, but can't put them back on)? If you're like me, you have to do a panty and shoe check before leaving the house to make sure everyone has all they need.

Do you speak a language that others around you can not begin to understand, mostly because the words you are using to represent certain objects do not sound in any way like the correct word for that object (ex. in our house "bum" = blanket)?

Are small toys scattered throughout the house? Do you find yourself, even after cleaning before bed, always stepping on that one small (excruciating) toy as you stumble off to bed?

Can you change sheets in a dark room filled with 3-4 other children and never wake anyone up? possibly not even fully wake up yourself?

Does every black shirt you wear quickly get smeared with snot and every white shirt get smeared with food stains? No color is safe.

Do you open your purse to sign a check only to find that the only writing utensil you have is a broken crayon? (you know, the one lying next to the goldfish crumbs at the bottom of the purse)

Do you carry a small potty in the back of your car because you know they will need to go when there is not a potty in sight?

Can you get a onesie off and a child lifted on to toilet in 2.5 sec (because that is all the warning time you will get from them)?

Do you have these kinds of conversations?
me trying to teach animal sounds: "What does the pig say?"
Caymber: "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!"

Do you find yourself trying to capture on camera every little adorable thing that they do?

I am guilty of all the above and proud of it. I am the mom of toddlers. It can be challenging to my patience level, but the moments of joy and laughter far out number those challenging times.
They are just TOO cute! Don't believe me? Watch this....

GO SOONERS!!!
