You know you're a parent when you know the words to the theme songs of "Clifford the Big Red Dog" , Toot and Puddle" and "Dragon Tales"
You know you're a parent when your multitasking consists of looking for Blankie and Lamb before naptime, while emptying the diaper genie, while simultaneously trying to google "avent" to try to figure out what no. nipple you should be using on the bottle.
You know you're a parent when you create a slow version (so not to hype her up b4 bed) to Dora the explorer and Go Diego Go tv shows to sing to your daughter as her goodnight song just as she has requested
You know you're a parent when you need to get out of the house, without kids whether you have some place to go or not.
You know you're a parent when you shake the running jogger, while continuing to run, to create a type of rollercoaster ride for your child
You know you're a parent when the sheer joy of being alone on the canal is like Christmas as a kid.
You know you're a parent when you begin to weep at things that were never able to bring you to tears before.
You know you're a parent when you begin to become aware of just how much your parents did for you and what it must have taken to raise you.
You know you're a parent when you look at your baby and are filled with an undeniable sense of joy and well-being.
You know you're a parent when you smile and laugh like a complete goof when your baby smiles
You know you're a parent when having a shower alone is comparable to a trip to the spa.
You know you're a parent when you "get in the cave" of covers on your bed to hide from the monsters while half asleep
