When you have a toddler....

you have to be able to dress and diaper a child while they're running away from you laughing

you become fluent in Gibberish.

you have to learn to not worry about what everyone else is thinking as your toddler throws a fit in the middle of the grocery store.

you find yourself watching cartoons and singing silly songs all day long

you cannot use the bathroom in private.

pee on the floor is a common occurrence.

your tupperware cupboard will never be organized again.

you have to understand that a quiet, awake baby is generally not a good sign!

you get to see a person forming and learning and laughing right before your eyes.

you will find yourself enjoying the little things you used to take for granted.

getting 4 hours of undisturbed sleep is a treat!!

when they wake up in the morning yelling "maamma!!!maamma!!!" and it brings a smile to your face...even if its 5:30am

nothing in your house is safe.

The word "no" looses all effective meaning!

I remember those days and believe it or not actually miss them. It's great to see a preview to the adults my kids are turning into but I wouldn't mind having them back as little kids for a little while.

Spending time with my friends children is always the best birth control

I can't stand kids until they are at least in the toddler stage. If I can't run around in a playground with them or read books to them, I want nothing to do with them.
