Scribble

Any paper left out is prone to the scribblings of a little one, including the scrap that was walked on by the dog that gives the title of a children's book to be as thought of by mother and son:

 

Uh, just in case you can't decipher the above: "Do Zebras Pass Gas? and Other Flatulence Facts" is the title, and yep, those were some other ways to say gas that we thought of. Ok now if someone else writes that one, you'll know who gave them the idea!

Going Out

When you are out at a show and you go to get out your wallet and find a tiny toy train in your purse. It was placed there earlier by your sweet child cause he wanted to make sure your going out purse was well stocked, even made sure Papa added some money for snacks, and offered water to take along.

Shower

When you realize how much you took for granted those lovely quiet showers in the morning back in the pre baby days.

Keys

When you have a set of those little plastic keys hanging alongside your own on the key hooks.

Rock Concerts

You know you're a parent when you are thankful that you attended a few loud concerts and noisy college parties etc. in your youth, so that when your children reach decibel levels of the same variety, you can simply recall those fun times instead of clutching your ears in agony.

Sleeping In

When you consider 7:30 am "sleeping in" and are oh so thankful for it!

Tea

When you reheat the same cup of tea at least 3 or 4 times before taking a sip, ahhh, naptime....
