{Part 1} 

+ You find raisins in your bed nightly

+ Speaking of raisins, you hear your spouse say, "Did I seriously just brush your teeth while you were still chewing on a raisin?"

+ You talk about George (Curious George), Nemo, Hotdog (Mickey Mouse), Pooh and the gang, and Elmo like they are members of your family.

+ You look back at a picture of yourself from just 2 years ago and wonder what happened to that baby face...without a dark circle or wrinkle in sight!

+ Coffee, coffee, and more coffee!

+ You forget that there are times when talking about poop is not really appropriate.

+ You obsess over Disney plans, particularly the time of your reservation to eat breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and friends! (Okay, you don't have to be a parent to do this. But it helps!)

+ A romantic anniversary getaway involves the zoo and watching HGTV in bed with a glass of wine.

+ You are forever mastering the art of waiting patiently and calmly for a meltdown to end. Real life example...

Grayson: Screaming, wide-mouthed, eyes brimming with tears

Scott: What's wrong?

Me: He got some spaghetti squash on his fork when he was trying to just scoop up the Romano cheese.

--- Moments Later ---

Grayson: Calm, sniffling still

Me: Ready to take a bite now?

Grayson: Happily accepts a bite of spaghetti squash and continues to eat like the world's most tragic thing didn't just happen to him 

+ Every night you explain to your toddler that if he would only look up for 2 seconds, you could wash the shampoo out of his hair without it getting into his eyes. And every night you end up just pouring water on his head and resisting the urge to say, "What did I tell you?" Most nights you fail at that.

~Until next time...happy parenting! :)
