What's Next?

Motherhood is an going adventure and one that provides many positive and challenging experiences along the way. Just when I think that I've got a handle on things, something else changes. I often find myself wondering, what's next.

You Can Tell You're a Mother

The other day I was looking in my purse for something when I pulled out a pair of pink socks belonging to my baby girl. My mom noticed them and said, "you can tell you're a mother".  I smiled.

Later in the day I started thinking about that comment and several other thoughts came to mind about being a mother.

You can tell you're a mother when...

- you find a pacifier in your coat pocket

- a spiderman action figure is sleeping  in your bed

- it's normal to have more food on the floor than on your child's plate

- you have melted crayons stuck to the front seat of your car

- you plan your day around nap time

- spit up is an accessory you wear every day

- the big news around the house is that your child went #2 in the potty

- you feel victorious when both kids are napping at the same time

- your right arm is flexible enough to pass toys, snacks and sippy cups to the backseat (while driving)

- the last concert you went to ended at 3:00PM in the afternoon

- you know all the names of the little Einsteins

- you understand the severity of the situation if you can't find your child's favorite blanket or toy

- you know what a boppy pillow is

- you're interested in the consistency of your baby's dirty diaper

- you know who The Wiggles and Doodlebops are

- your patience has been tested like never before

- you truly understand the expression, "to see things through the eyes of a child"

- you start believing in Santa Claus again

For me, motherhood has been the most rewarding, challenging and emotional experience I have ever had. I look forward to adding to my "you can tell you're a mother" list.
