You know you are a parent when . . .

You wear clothes with spit-up, snot, or food on them because you know that it's pointless to change your shirt, because the moment you do, your baby will surely spit-up on you again.

You haven't been to a movie in a year.

You only eat at restaurants that have a "family friendly" atmosphere. Meaning that if your toddler is standing in his highchair screaming and throwing crayons/bread/his shoes at other patrons, no one will notice.

You won't spend money on fancy bodywash for yourself, but you will buy leave-in conditioner for your little boy because it will make his hair more smooth and shiny.

Likewise, you won't buy new shoes for yourself, but those little Pumas are just so cute and he totally needs them!

You have dirty diapers in your nightstand and pee on your sheets (but perhaps this one isn't just limited to people with kids).

Your pots & pans are in your tupperware cupboard and your tupperware is in your pots & pans cupboard.

You have maple syrup in your rug. (Anyone know how to get that out?)

You routinely discuss the contents of your baby's diaper.

Your idea of a vacation is going to the grocery store alone.

People routinely tell you "You sure have your hands full!". (Thanks, by the way. Not like I wasn't aware of that already. Now I think that you must think I look frazzled.)

You quit sorting laundry. Red and blue are both kinda dark, right?

You have picked up poop with your bare hands. True story.


Oh the gloriousness of parenthood!

The soundtrack of our lives, as of late.

We listen to a lot of music during the day. While I'm doing chores we will have it on in the background. When Maddox needs to burn some energy we will crank it up a little and have a mini dance party. When Maddox is napping in his room and Mason is sleeping in his bassinet and I am relaxing (blog, Facebook, crosswords, napping, eating lunch etc), I will play some quiet music. It drowns out a bit of the city noise.

The songs we listen to are very eclectic and always revolving. I thought it would be fun to share what we have been listening to lately. Someday, maybe Maddox will read this blog find a song that we used to listen to, listen to it, and think "that sounds familiar, and kind of reminds me of my childhood". Maybe not. But I thought it would be fun to remember. I included a few videos just so you can get a taste.
