You know there's a toddler in your house...

[nikkiARNGwife]

when every light switch in every room is sticky...

when you learn to step lightly in case there is a stray train, car or lego lying about....

when you find 3 full rolls of toilet paper IN the toilet...

when you find your makeup strewn all over and your eyeliner sticking out of the end of your brand new tube of lipstick...


let's just say we've had a day of it lol

[LenaGardner]

when the drawer underneath your oven is filled with toy pots and pans instead of real ones...

when you know how to get red juice out of a white carpet...

Wow, those are all so true. I think I have experienced all of them....a few all in the same day. I have a 3 yr. old boy too. A few days ago I found him decorating his room with 2 roles of toilet paper and then when I went to get out some meat out of the fridge for sandwitches I found that he had taken a bit out of each slice and put them back. Everyday is born with new suprises and unique ways of getting into trouble. Don't you just love toddlers. :O)

or find YOUR makeup all over THEIR toy dolls and stuffed animals...

you know you have a toddler when....

You begin to relate your real life situations to episodes of Arthur or Handy Manny...."Honey, this is just like that episode when Francine is mean..."

[Nikki Epperson]

We do it when we are alone without the girls...with each other...

[Jenn Barrette]

or when you can only dream of going to the bathroom alone and uninterrupted.

or when you try to find your wallet in your purse and have to search through toddler snacks, wipes, and small toys.

or you find yourself singing Dora and Yo Gabba Gabba songs in your head.

the list goes on and on... they keep life interesting

Unfortunately this doesn't happen any time soon. Mine are 6 & 8 and I STILL dream of this.

When you actually have to ask the question.. Did you check the fridge to see if he put the remote in there again?

[emilyscout]

lol, remote in the fridge!!!!

...when you find one slipper floating in the toilet and the other one is STILL missing.

...when you say no more times in one day than you can count.

LOL! The other night I was watching TV and heard little feet. Went upstairs and what do I find? My 3 year old son found my fingernail polish and proceeded to 'paint' my bedroom wall, our new mirror AND the carpet. Good times ... Ugggg.
