You know you're the mother of an "almost 3 year old" when...

1. A whole day of dry big girl panties is the cause of great excitement and numerous calls to proud grandparents.

2. "Princesses do NOT pick their noses!" and other such phrases are a normal part of your vocabulary.

3. Speaking of princesses...you have rekindled a long lost relationship with Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel & Belle.

4. You wonder if Jesus, Mary & Joseph ever got into tickle fights.

5. You find yourself craving goldfish crackers and fruit snacks.

6. The thought of a trip to Walmart by yourself makes you almost giddy.

7. You look at the world in a way you that haven't in a really really really long time.

8. You are excited for summer so that you can go to parks and blow bubbles.

9. You've been interrupted five times while writing this blog post.

10. You are a master at determining when it's *too* quiet.

11. You daily fall in love all over again.

12. You have the utmost respect for the person who invented the "Magic Eraser".

13. You are starting to realize how much wisdom God is going to have to give you in order to be an effective parent. You see how perfect His planning was when He chose to introduce children to their parents as babies and not teenagers.

14. You are having the time of your life.

God's planning really was perfect when He chose to introduce children to their parents as babies and not teenagers--so, so true.
