You know you have kids when ....

Apart from the obvious that it was me who pushed them with all my strengh and deep breathes out into this world, here are a few more little reminders.

My makeup bag is full of paracetemol and voltaren suppositories.

My fridge door is better stocked with medicine than the closest pharmacy.

My cutlery drawer houses more mini syringes than spoons and forks put together.

Our bath is no longer surrounded by essential oils and candles, but buckets, ducks, watering cans, straws and plastic bottles, just to name a few.

You know all the words to the songs of the programmes on cbbs and playhouse disney.

You can name the teletubbies and their colour.

You know how important it is for the different foods not to touch on the same plate, that is ofcourse if you want them to eat it! 

Mama, can you please.....

Ever wondered why, they always ask mom?? When you are really busy with three or more things, like us moms normally are. The kids bypass the one doing 'less' and demand help, need something, as its a matter of life and death!!

Just this week-end I witnessed it first hand , and its not the first time.

Its almost lunch time, so the food is busy cooking. The house is tidied, well as much as it can be with 2 little girls. The washing is finished in the machine so I quickly  hang it out to dry.  Olivia walks right past her dad who is sitting on the couch and asks me to read her this story that she'd brought back from school.
I look at her and say 'listen , when you want something, please look at whoever isn't doing anything and ask them ' all this while pointing to her papa!
