-There's a border of hand prints about two feet from the floor where he/she has walked around the walls.
-Picking up and putting him/her down all day is seriously toning your biceps.
-Every dining experience requires extensive floor cleanup afterwards. Unless you have a dog.
-Having time to yourself is a luxury, sleeping through the night is priceless and yet, time away from the munchkin still leaves you missing them not long after parting.
-On a normal day you can choose between having a clean kid or clean clothes, but not both and sometimes neither.
-You have learned how to interpret a variety of the toddler version of non-words.
-Playing chase is impossible because the child still wants to run TO you rather than away from you.
-Knowing your child feels loved and secure is a more satisfying feeling than any other experience you can imagine.
