Top 5 Ways You Know You Spend Most of Your Day with a Toddler

March 3, 2007 · 9 Comments

5. You know what time it is based upon what is currently on PBS.
4. You do things with one hand, even when there is no toddler on your hip.
3. You cannot say the name of an animal without immediately making the corresponding noise.
2. You see an unidentifiable, gigantic object on an 18-wheeler, and your first response to your friend’s question “What is that thing?” is “Looks like a doghouse for Clifford.”
1. You have food and/or snot on your shoulder, and not only do you not really care but you fail to even notice it’s there anymore.

Any to add?

    6. You have twenty-eight items checked out at the library, and none of them belong to you.

    7. You spend an hour every day pushing toys to the perimeter of the room. When it’s done, you think the house looks pretty good (even though there’s a rescue hero command center next to the entertainment center, a play kitchen in the entryway, and five thousand hot wheels cars lined up in the family room).

    I can’t resist one more!

    10. You get up at 5:30 in the morning, are in perpetual motion since waking up, and are still late for a 10 o’clock church service.

    Right along with that is
    11) Somehow from the time you start walking out of your house until you are pulling out of the driveway, 30 minutes elapses.

    12. You leave the house with so many bags, your neighbor asks if you’re going on a trip. Nope. Just lunch with a friend.

    13. You don’t know what the latest songs on the Top 40 are because you are humming “Silly Songs” and “Preschool Songs” all day.

    14. You know that I’m not referring to songs in general in #13, but actual album names…and you know who sings them.
