I know I am a mom when...
- I splurge on the purchase of raspberries only to taste 1 berry and give the rest to Tristan.
- I walk outside by myself and I look for sidewalk entry points that have the dip in them, even when I am not pushing a stroller.
- I enter a store and immediately go to the kids section to look for deals.
- I follow mostly parents who love to talk about their kids on Twitter.
- 90% of all my photos in iPhoto have Tristan in them. Ditto with the videos.
- I eat a luke warm or cold meal that is meant to be eaten hot.
- I can no longer eat a meal from start to end without having to get up at least once.
- I drink cold coffee that was made hot.
- I start to bribe and give rewards for every day achievements like peeing in the toilet or eating most of the dinner.
- I use the word play date, instead of just date.
- I know the names of at least three of Thomas the Tank Engine's friends.
- I travel with a sippy cup of water because I can't find my own water bottle.
- I scan a new room for danger the moment I step in.
- I walk around with cute little stickers on my clothes and have no idea.
- I spend as much time planning a kids birthday party as I do planning a vacation.
- I know when to give out loot bags and what to expect to find inside.
- Halloween becomes one of my favorite holidays because I get to live it through Tristan's eyes.
- I give out a lot of Valentines cards, but none to my husband.
- I know about all the cool playgrounds, parks, StrongStart, Neighborhood house, and toddler story times in my area.
- I know the lyrics to Zoom, zoom, we're going to the moon.
- I know how our local Toys R Us store is organized. And I know where or how to find all the cool and trendy toys in my city.
- I think and care more about the environment. For instance, I look at ways to save the planet by reducing waste of plastic and reusing as much as possible.
- I wake up to the sound of "Daddy!!!!" instead of my alarm clock.
- I can't stop but think about my child 90% of my day.
