You know your priorities are out of whack when:
1) You spend more time teaching your 2 year old how to put her own diaper on than you spend potty training her. (Evangeline insists on "I wear BIG diapy"... so she goes in her room, slams the door and says," I do it myself." Then she spends the next few minutes stripping down and trying to get her own diaper on. Most of the time she can do it herself, but today she ended up in the living room as I was feeding Elliot. It was almost nap time... so tired, naked and frustrated Doodle ended up pitching a 5 minute tantrum as I yelled across the room step by step instructions on how to put her diapy on.)
2) You congratulate yourself on your current rendition of "The Sun Will Come Out... TOMORROW" and eventually realize that you are harmonizing perfectly with your unruly toddler's screams.
3) Instead of disciplining your child for eating the play dough... you simply put a bib on them.
4) You spend time 'practicing' raising the side of the crib as quietly as possible as if it were an Olympic event. (Poor Baby Brotha' wakes up at the drop of a hat these days.)
5) You use words like 'boosy' (Evangeline's word for blanket) and 'Dambutta' (grandmother) in public.
6) You only give your child one Flintstone vitamin... but every once in a while, sneak 2 for yourself.
7) You waste time on your blog trying to think of 4 more funny things to say... just to make the list of 10... when, in reality, I only had 6 funny things to say... so we'll leave it at that.
