You know you’re a mom when…
- You curse the day you ever introduced your child to Barney, The Wiggles or Elmo.
- You are not above bribery in order to get your kid to do, eat, go, pick up or just “be” what you want them to at any given time. I haven’t started this yet with Lucas, but I have witnessed it and some of you moms are so GOOD at it, I might need lessons (Coreen!).
- Your pediatrician and your favorite babysitter are on speed dial on your phone.
- You aren’t even phased anymore by being sneezed all over or getting poop under your fingernails and in fact, you have come to accept it as part of the territory.
- 4000 of the 5092 photos in your digital photo library are of your child.
- You’re up at 10:00 showering, shaving, blow drying your hair, folding laundry and emptying the dishwasher.
- You have read and re-read Where’s Spot a gazillion times and your child is only a year old.
- The sound of the word “mama” melts your heart every. single. time. you hear it.
I love putting these lists together each week. Thanks, AZ Mama at Our Daze in the Desert!
The best is yet to be.

You've got me dead to rights on that last one.
I agree that bodily fluids no longer phase…
Love hearing Mama….still.
our pediatrician is on speed dial too…
I positively love this list! FYI – the last one becomes especially sweet when the word "grand" precedes the "mama".
Greetings! I’m visiting from the Blog Frog Mom Loop Community Comment Follow and I am so glad that I did!
Such a sweet list! I can't wait to I hear my child say mama. Shoot, it melts my heart when I hear children call their mom "mama."
Lovely list. It made me laugh too as I can see myself in it!!! (Poop under your nails, reading the SAME book over and over again, ha ha).
I wish I had recorded the girls first "Mamas"… xoxo
I LOVE hearing "Mom"…love it! Never gets old. Great list!
Yes, yes, YES to all of the above. I am a briber (word?), through and through, and I am not ashamed to admit it. And as for Barney…never fear…it will pass. The purple love affair lasted far longer than I would have liked, but he's out. Finally.
I bribe too. It works like a charm every time!
