You Know You Have Young Kids When....

After being a mom for almost a year and a 1/2, I realized that these are the top 10 ways that you know you have a young child. :)

  • You talk about poop with your spouse A LOT!! :)
  • You and your spouse's conversations revolve around the kids the majority of the time..even when you are out taking a break from being a parent. :)
  • Your house looks like a tornado hit it 5 minutes after you have just cleaned it up!! :)
  • You find yourself ordering off the restaurant menu thinking "I wonder if I should get something that my child will also eat...just in case they don't want to eat their kids meal that I am about to order". The best is when you still think that way and then you realize you are on a date! :)
  • Your roadtrips revolve around "how many toys and movies can we cram into our car in order to make it ALL the way there?" A 2-3 hour roadtrip somehow turns into 1/2 a day!
  • You are wiped out ALL the time...even when you sleep a full 8 hours. :)
  • You find yourself singing to songs from Gymboree....even when the kids are not around. :)
  • You often think "what activities can we plan before and after nap today to help the day pass more quickly, and keep the kids occuppied so they won't get restless?" :)
  • You long for more vacations away with your spouse the older your kids get, however, you miss them TERRIBLY when you are gone.
  • You marvel at what they learn, and laugh at something they do every single day b.c they are just SO DARN CUTE!! :)

You gotta love being a parent....what joy!! :) Two kiddos under age 2...here we come! :)
