You know you're the parent of 2 toddlers when...

1. Your couch cushions are used more for fort building than for sitting.

2. Your vacuum has permanent residence beside the dinner table.

3. You can't tape your favorite show because the DVR is full of Dora and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

4. You don't even worry about your daughter eating most of her meal off the floor.

5. You go on drives 1/2 hour before you have to be somewhere because both kids are strapped in for the entire ride.

6. You look forward to trips to the grocery because your spouse watches both kids while you shop.

7. You can sing "Jesus Loves Me" forward, backward and in your sleep.

8. Your conversations with other parents revolve around potty training, nap time, and timeouts.

9. You sympathize with another parent in the grocery store who is struggling with their toddler because you know it could easily be you.

10. You have given your child a cookie for eating 2 bites of dinner.

11. Your vocabulary has changed from, "When I am a parent I will never" to "I'm so glad someone else's child does that."

12. You think it might just be easier to stay in diapers until they are 5.

13. You spend all day at work thinking about the hugs and kisses that await you in your first 5 minutes at home.

14. You pack a bag full of games, books, snacks, and drinks to make it through one hour of church.

15. You worry less about messes and more about memories.

16. You can't imagine life without these precious babies.

17. Your childrens' smiles are like Christmas every morning.

18. Punishing your child has made you cry.

19. You look forward to nights out with just your spouse even though you spend the entire time talking about your kids.

20. You have learned how to choose your battles.

Most of all, you know you are doubly blessed and wouldn't change a thing!!!
