A friend from college posted on her blog that she knew she was a parent when she was catching her son's vomit in her hands and laughing about it. I can't say that I've done that yet, but there have been several things lately that make me think of that old saying you know you are a parent when...
When you can't find your kiddos dinner fork after eating a meal and instantly start digging through the trash . When you can't find it you start to wonder what happened to it and are convinced that you must be loosing your mind since there isn't that many places to look for a fork when you live in such a small place. I did find the fork tonight . Sam had stuffed it under his booster seat and wouldn't you know I didn't look there. He actually pulled it out himself when I fed him tonight.
You hear a splash and realize that there isn't any water for your kiddo to be splashing in and wonder what's going on. I went into the bathroom to see that Sam had pulled out his bath time rubber duckies and was splashing in the clean toilet water. Talk about a site. Toilet lid up, rubber ducks in the water, and water splashed all over the floor, and him laughing hysterically.
Oh it's fun being a parent that's for sure.

THat's funny... a little along the same lines... when we were in the hospital, Adam was changing Joselyn's diaper when she, well, pooped. Adam is very OCD about cleanliness so you would guess he would be quite frazzled and stressed, but instead he said "She's so cute!" and just laughed it off. I knew at that moment he would be a great dad!
