Being a mom, sometimes life happens in unexpected ways.
For example:
You know you’re a mom when….
–you are too busy to realize you have to pee… until you sneeze.
–you go digging in your bag for a pen only to pull your hand out covered in crumbs.
–you can read Where the Wild Things Are before you even open it.
–strangers nod knowingly as you try to keep your toddler from stripping his undies and shorts off right there in the cart because he has to pee.
–you break out in cheers of “Let’s Go Pee Pee (clap, clap, clap clap clap)” in public restrooms to help your toddler pee in the toilet.
–your idea of a newly tiled floor is walking over the Hot Wheels that have taken up permanent residency in your kitchen
–you find yourself picking up the phone to call the nearest insane asylum and check yourself in.
–you find yourself putting a cushion between two children just because they wont stop fighting over whose feet go where on the couch.
And finally…
You know your a mom when you can’t wait to get on the computer and blog/tweet about the latest and cutest thing your speech delayed child is saying.
On that note, it tickles me pink to watch mine play hide and seek. Jellybean seems to always do the hiding, and Scooby is always the one doing the counting, but he doesn’t seem to mind. The sounds of “Two, Six, Three, Nine, TEN!” “Rea-y o nah, I come!” never fail to put a smile on my face. The only thing that beats that is the sound of my son’s laughter when I count for him and end it with “Ready or Not Here I Come!!!”. He’ll come rushing out from wherever he was put to count, full on laughing and giving his location away.
I can never find a pen in my purse – but I’m always able to find a crayon!
YAY!!
My favorite is when you see your kid being an absolute a-hole to an older sibling and you can’t help but laugh because the small kids really know how to drive the older kids crazy. You’d think older kids have the upper hand, but not in this house!
Kelly, I love that too, especially since Jellybean was SUCH a meanie to Scooby when he was little. He can give as good as he got now, and he has a LONG memory, LOL.
She’s so dead on right with this!
Isn’t she? I love it!
so many signs of ‘being a mom’ mostly boogies on the sleeve and poo on the finger. yah. that’s typical 😉
great list!
I try at all costs to avoid the poop on the finger part since I have enough poop in my life. 😉
Haha great post! I had both the “you are too busy to realize you have to pee… until you sneeze” and “you go digging in your bag for a pen only to pull your hand out covered in crumbs”, happen to me lately!
Wait, wait, wait…you mean it doesn’t go Two, Six, Three, Nine, TEN?
Thanks for having me over today. I had a lot of fun once the craziness passed on.
Too funny. I have cheered for more pee and poor than I ever care to remember.
