You know you're a parent when ...


Here's the first installment of clues to when you know you're a parent - in no particular order
1. You wave bye-bye to the water when you flush the toilet
2. You can clean a runny nose without getting disgusted
3. You understand gestures and grunts as real requests
4. A kiss and hug from you makes any injury "All better"
5. You wake up in the middle of the night or watch your child sleep just to make sure they're still breathing

Yoni had a huge BM this evening and besides being a little stinky (he's been eating lots of cheese and yougurt in the last week or two) the only other problem was that he didn't have a diaper on at the time. When I noticed, it was all over his leg down to his sock. Not pleasant. Naturally, Eran was at shul and I was dealing with this mess on my own. So I tried to wipe it the best I could, then put him in the bathtub to get the rest off. Then I rinsed out the tub and took out all the toys (they need to be disinfected now) And I found the toy we bought him for the bathtub (letters and numbers that stick to the walls of the tub and the surrounding walls) and switched it out. So left him in the tub to play with his new toy while I dealt with the clothes. Whew - so glad to be a parent.
