You know you have a toddler when

1. When you go into the bathroom you trip over small wooden toys and books your baby has dragged in there earlier in the day while you were trying to go to the bathroom and keep her from grabbing the toilet brush and putting it in her mouth.
2. You can't seem to find your sunglasses, lip balm, keys, one of your sweet babies shoes and figure out she's been "playing with them" aka hiding them in places you would never think to look or believe she could get to like the way back crevices of the sofa.
3. Her new favorite activity is playfully shaking her head back and forth in the no gesture and giggling with mirth when she does it.
4. Any high surface in your house is littered with the contraband that you swiped from your baby ending in tear jerking screams of rage when you tell her she can't put the sharp pointy or soapy poison thing in her mouth.
5. The high surfaces are also covered in paperwork you do not want to have eaten, her shoes, your shoes, sun block and books with rippable covers.
6. RIP morning nap, the time when you used to get all your writing done and clean the house.
7. Helpful baby time means big mess adult time that you take deep breaths and try to relax as she disassembles the whole contents of the dirty dishes in the washing machine. She is really helpful when we have to take the clean dishes out.
8. You figure out how to make every errand into a game and every transition into a song.
9. You watch those sweet baby legs gallop across the playground and remember just a few months ago she was crawling across the same turf.
10. You start to enjoy multiple full nights of sleep.
