My first time experiencing this just a couple days ago. I think I changed outfits 6 times the other day...I really didn't want to scrub our furniture.

...when finding an uncooked rotini pasta peeking out from your child's butt crack is a tremendously funny sight gag, worthy of calling DH in from another room to see.

...when your dinner consists, in large part, of 'whatever the baby didn't eat.'

...when you have "phone" "conversations" using the remote and the mouse to say 'hi' back and forth repeatedly.

...when you regularly pick through your own garbage before you take it out to make sure that nothing valuable is being thrown away.

...when poop becomes a valid topic of conversation with other grown-ups.

The request of "nums and a book" when going to bed is a daily occurence. Falls asleep almost every time to my voice.

you have to ask them to please, stop riding the humidifier.

Along a similar vein, my DD knew to put a play camera up to her eye and look through it -- I'm pretty sure she's only seen us use the little screen on the digital camera to take pictures!

mommy attempting to have crackers results in a bath for the toddler...and the baby....and the dog....ect.

Life revolves around poop, boobs, and sippy cups.

When you catch little one pooping on the floor in the bathroom and give him a high five for doing it in the right room.
When YOU need to poop and you get excited because it means you have a valid excuse to sit down.
when you dc will only eat food that HAS touched the floor, and you have company and forget to at least pretend that you all eat at the table, and DC is on the floor scavenging like a starved puppy.

-when you finally find the uneaten food fromsnack/ mealtime in or around the toys while cleaning
- you get an audience while going to the bathroom

[musicoholic]

I'm sure someone's probably said it before... but
YKYTPOATW...
you've finally found time (in the very wee hours of the morning) for "being intimate" - at the end of which DH thought it would be fitting to slap your rear...

2 minutes later DS comes in and says "I woke up because I heard a clap sound"

when you get new neighbors and have to warn them about your local nudist and swear up and down you do actually have clothes for said nudist

[tabrizia]

You watch your child take his snack of broccoli out into the kitchen, stalk by stalk, and stick it in the lazy susan cupboard and spin it around a few times before crawling in with it to eat it.

[marshapn]

...when your DP turns around to look at DD in car seat and asks her to please take the straw from *his* soda out of her nose.

[peaceful_mama]

You catch yourself saying things like "Hey, no FENCING with TURKEY BASTERS!!".....

[majorsky]

Or when you say things like "boogers are not toys."

When you DS replaces the s in "sock" with a "c" and then announces in public that he can't find his *ock.

At least he's eating the broccoli. That would be reason enough for me to let him play with the lazy susan.

[momasana]

When you have to say "spit it out" at least once an hour.

[peaceful_mama]

You know your friends have toddlers when...

instead of hanging up, they laugh and say "great day at your house too?" when they answer the phone to you saying "HEY, I just said NOT to put the playdough in your hair!"

[Harmony96]

When you know that "right there, book, want to," means "Mommy I want to put the book right there on your lap."

[sunnygir1]

You're absolutely thrilled when your friend's toddler teaches yours to say "want it" instead of "mine"...and your friend is mortified.
