It's appent you're a parent when your children echo your own words, tone, phrases, etc. This morning it was, "No Mama, you need to say, 'May I please kiss you?'"
It's apparent you're a parent when your "alarm clock" is 2 cute little hands patting, "Pattycake" on your face, or some variation there of. Yep I haven't had an actual alarm for 5 years now, wow.
