- ask, “who peed on the floor?” and actually get a confession
- fight desperately with my three year old over MY boots
- be eating a sandwich, smell diaper ointment (i.e. Desitin or A&D), and realize that I completely forgot to wash my hands after changing a diaper…and waiting to finish my sandwich to actually wash my hands
- be excited to just stay home on a Saturday night and watch movies
- become the Laundry Goddess who can remove any stain, known and unknown (and some I wish I didn’t know)
- NOT get sick when my children puke, or when it gets on me or my clothes, or I have to clean it off the floor or out of the carpet (although I still get sympathy sick whenever any other person gets a stomach bug and is puking)
- be up to my elbows in my children’s diarrhea-filled diaper, scooping out poop with a plastic spoon into several small vials, and delivering the prepared poop to the pediatrician without batting an eye (although I did gag once or twice…gross!)
- hear my three year old announce to everyone in our house after he had a potty accident that he’s going upstairs to get rid of “yucky Elmo”, and then showing off his “clean Diego pants”, while striking a pose that consists of him sticking his butt out at an exaggerated angle to showcase the Diego design on the butt of his undies.
- the sloppiest kisses–and lovin’ every one of them
- getting a fat lip from baby head-butts on a weekly basis (hey, I can only dodge so many of the head-butts I get!)
- never thought I’d get so many bodily fluids on me that weren’t my own
- having two healthy boys (not sure what I expected, but certainly didn’t ever dream of having two little boys)
- being so uncontrollably in love with my kids
(think they look alike?…first one is Gavin, second one is Cooper)

Yep, these are all things I remember as well. Very well done. Thanks for the walk down memeory lane. Have a great TT. 🙂
I can’t get over how much they look the same, and I see them every day! :*
I noticed the striking similarity when I compared photos of them both wearing the skunk costume.
Oh my they really do look alike! Enjoy!
I’m quite certain I could never ever EVER handle #6.
Wow they do look alike!
I love the list…I’ve got several I can check off on there!
Amen to that list. There’s a few that I’ve been fortunate enough to dodge, but “a few” is not nearly enough. i wish I could have dodged all 13.
You could tell me that was the exact same little boy in both pictures and I would 100% believe you. Amazing!
the picture of your son in your boots is too cute!
Love the little man in the fine boots.
Baby head butts, ha. Part of being a mom is hearing yourself say things you never imagined would come out of your mouth and learning to regard the bodily fluids of others as your own…
I hear ya sister! I wrote a post not that long ago about how surprised I am that I handle the throwing up so well.
#1 and #8 really cracked me up. Punkin is just starting pull ups and we have a devil of a time getting her to put clothes on over her sainted Ariel!
OH. MY. GAWD. They’re adorable – AND identical!!! You weren’t kiddin’!
And I’m so there with ya on #10!
