You know that you are a "parent" when...

WHEN.....

1) You lean down to tie your shoe and without thought, double knot the lace.

2) You fix a meal for yourself (finally...) and give half or all of it to your ever eating, and particularly adorable at the moment child.

3) You are showered in smelly substances and do not give a shriek of alarm.

4) You are not upset by the the little cries emanating from the bedroom announcing that the "long morning of rest" you were cherishing is now over.

5) You are cooking a meal and suddenly there are little arms wrapped around your legs, seeking to stop all movement, and almost succeeding as you fly towards the floor.

6) You are trying to take that much needed, restful, warm shower only to have the shower curtain opened again and again... so much for the warm-part of the shower. :)

7) You find amusement in watching your small child perform the same antics again and again.



Well, the list could go on... if any of your readers can give input as to their experiences. I would love to hear from you!!! : -)

Have a wonderful NEW YEAR!!!!!

Amen to the shower one! Emma always times it exactly for when I am about to get out of the shower, so any heat that has built up and can lessen the blow of stepping out is now gone. brrr.

Your infant is snoring during a sermon, loud enough to set off car alarms, and you think it's cute.

I'm particularly amused by 5&6... Try dinner with a 50 lb child charging your knees unexpectedly. :)


You are only mildly embaressed when your child announces at the top of his lungs "I pooted Mommy" in the middle of the store.
