2. You get so excited when you see things like a cement mixer, and shout at the top of your lungs, "Look Charlie, a cement mixer" and then feel slightly embarrassed by all those that stopped beside you to look as well.
3. You feel so proud of yourself for having a full, busy, and productive day as you head down the street to the meet a friend at the beach, and then when you get down to the sand you realize, hmm it is 5, getting dark, incredibly cold and windy, and my kids have no sweatshirts or socks, no water, no diapers, no snacks..and you realize the exhaustion and chaos is almost too much to bare.
4. You hear things all day long like: OH MY JOSH, THATS RIGHT BABY!, I DO THAT, NO DADDY,
5. You wonder where your newly mobile baby is only to find her crouched under the dining room chair eating little bits of paper, old cheerios, and dried up oatmeal...and you think to yourself: Oh I guess she is finally ready for some solids.
6. You find yourself saying all day long, oh honey the baby doesn't need to be vacummed up, we don't sweep the floor by belting the dog with the broom, close your mouth when you kiss the baby, can you take your hand out of the top of my shirt, and no honey...only the baby gets nursies, yes i know i have two boobies but they are both for the baby.
7. you laugh hysterically as your son raises the roof, and does the craziest dance moves that vaguely resemble your own fantastic dance moves you displayed during your college years.
8. You can sit and play in the playroom for over an hour, making the same few animals out of play dough.
