You Know You Have a Toddler When

I've done a pregnancy list and a new baby list and now it's time for a toddler list. In other words: the kitchen is filthy and I'm avoiding it by playing on my blog.

You Know you Have a Toddler When.......

You know the theme songs to all the Disney and Nick Jr. shows.

The bottom of your foot has come in contact with every sharp toy your child has

You've decided that finger prints on the windows and TV should be a new trend

You can read your child's favorite book with your eyes closed and still turn the pages at the appropriate times.

Your child is positive that your food taste better even if they have the same thing.

Your kitchen floor can put a movie theater floor to shame.

You find food/toys in very strange places ie: shoes, bathtubs, pots etc.

Only the top half of your Christmas tree is decorated

You say random things such as "don't french kiss the dog" or "don't smear poop in your hair"

Only the expensive items end up in the toilet.

You have forgotten the definition of 'privacy'.

You can do the dishes balanced on one foot since the other foot is keeping your child from climbing into the dishwasher.

You find yourself swaying and humming Old McDonald when your in line somewhere, alone.

A five minute task turns into a 20 min task because of all the 'help' your getting.

Walking to the mailbox takes 2 hours because every blade of grass must be examined.

A hug and a kiss make everything better, for child and parent.

Baby number two is due Oct 14. I am crossing my fingers for the 10th so it can have a birthday of 10-10-10. So far we are both set on a girl but it will still be about a month or so till we find out.

Easter

Chris' work had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Actually, it was more of an Easter egg pick up. The eggs were just thrown onto the lawn. Which is perfect for Cordons age. We showed him the concept once, then our clean freak child took off. He LOVED putting all the eggs in the basket. Each child had a limit of ten eggs, but of course Cordon couldn't leave the field with eggs still laying around so we let him continue with putting eggs in the basket and when he wasn't looking we would throw the extra ones behind us for other kids to get.

Be sure to notice Cordons shoes. These Air Jordon's were a wedding gift to Chris. He is so obsessed with Jordon's that these have been on display in several of our homes. I was told on many occasions that these were ONLY for decoration. Well, one day out of the blue, Chris decided that Cordon needed to wear these coveted Air Jordon's. The fact that Chris let Cordon outside while wearing them is an occasion to celebrate.



Cordon was jealous of the grass in some of the kids baskets. This little boy was nice enough to share.

Easter Sunday was great. We got Cordon a small basket with a few toys and candy. Although, I think I ate most of the candy. We also got him a book on the resurrection. My favorite part of the day was when Cordon disappeared. We found him watching General Conference in our room.

And be sure to make fun of our high quality TV stand.
