You know your a parent of a toddler when...part 3

1. You are at spinning class, sweating like a madman, working your tail off and you look down to find a cheerio next to your towel...and you spend the next 10 minutes of an intense climb not focusing on perserverance and determination, but instead wondering what part of your body that cheerio fell from.

2. Going to the bathroom alone gives you anxiety

3. You hear yourself say things like: Charlie don't throw tomatoes at your sister...Charlie don't touch your sister's bum

4. You have full conservations with your 17 month old about whether or not she has a poopy: 
Kate: poopy
Mom: You have a poopy?
Kate: No poopy
Mom: You don't have a poopy?
Kate: Yeh poopy
Mom: (check the diaper) yes, Kate you have a poopy

5. You find yourself counting to 10 as you get out of your car and race up the stairs even though you are alone.

6. You have to fight the urge to call the police if you hear a lawn mower, chain saw, or some loud car noise between the hours of 1 and 3

7. Something as simple as a walk to the park can take up to an hour as you stop to watch lawn mowers, leaf blowers, or the golden egg: window washers

8. You lose a million races a day to a three year old.

ahh the joys of parenting little tots...
