You Know You Have a Toddler When...

....these are normal sights.

(her "sunglasses")
When your little one sings "Happy Birthday" to herself over and over again all day long.

When you have more sippy cups than regular cups.

When you stand by a slide cheering for almost an hour while your little lady goes down it over and over. Confirmation comes when she would MUCH rather go alone than with a parental.


When you read books to someone ELSE while they sit on the potty smiling at you.

When you cheer when someone goes to the potty.



When you use the word "potty" in a blog post or in adult conversation.


When the little person in your grocery cart screams, "Hi, guys!" at the top of her lungs to everyone she sees.

When you can't walk through a grocery store without a little set of eagle eyes spotting "DORA!!!!" on every balloon, soup can, yogurt container or bag of chips. (Holy cow, that is an enterprise.)


When you have memorized every board book that has ever been printed.

When you find yourself humming "The Wheels on the Bus" while you sit at your desk.

When you can't see a scribble drawing without smiling.

When you have the joy of watching your little peanut walking around the house having a full conversation with "Daddy" or "Papaw" on her play phone.

I love her organizational system for food!

Can she climb out of the crib yet?

Enjoy every minute!

I looooooove the pretend phone calls. Chloe has taken to giving her Gramma the "what-for" over her pretend cell phone. Then this morning, heard her say, "Hi Gramma. I couldn't stay mad at you forever!" I was cracking up. It is truly the best.
