We've all seen similar lists for various categories. This list is based on my own experience. I've done all these things and then thought, I'm such a mom.
You know you're a mom of an infant when...
... you only have one leg shaved at a time.
...you're ecstatic to make it out of the house without having to change clothes three times.
...the diaper bag doubles as your purse.
...you can open a door with your hip, navigate a toddler and a stroller through the doorway without losing your grip on either one.
You know you're a mom of young children when...
...a co-worker points out that you have oatmeal in your hair.
...you select a restaurant based on whether or not chicken fingers are on the menu.
...you can sing along to Radio Disney.
...you want Kim Possible's cell phone ring as your ringtone.
...you have Green Eggs & Ham memorized.
Generally, you know you're a mom when...
...you buy Band-Aids in bulk.
...you call your youngest child by the dog's name.
...your favorite snack is a cheese stick.
...you're not surprised when you find Legos, K'nex, acorns, rocks, dead frogs, sharks' teeth, golf tees, and wire nuts in the clothes dryer.
...you buy an extra copy of the latest Harry Potter novel to read yourself.
...you shout "Punch Buggy! Yellow convertible!" and then realize that no one else is in the car.
C'mon, fess up and share some of your "You know you're a mom when..." moments!

...when you need to organize Girls' weekends every couple of months to keep your sanity.
...when you've stopped calling your spouse anything but dad.
...when you realize you've made it through the entire grocery store with a burp rag on your shoulder but no baby in tow.
...when you wear clothes from walmart and target and the kids dress in name brands.
...when you know the names of all types of construction trucks and find yourself pointing them out, even when you're not with your kids.
Love this post!
BTW How much do I love that picture of you and Mr A. God so adorable.
Love this post! I so relate to the the k'nex and rocks not only in the dryer but in my purse...oh, the sweet memories!
Right now I know I'm a mom cuz I find myself listening to Lady Ga Ga on the car radio while driving, even when I'm alone in the car. WTF??
I love that photo; I remember those pleated pants...
I'm not a mom but I just wanted to chime in to say that picture is BEAUTIFUL! It made me smile. Twice! Oh, three times now. ;o)
...when you meet a friend at a swanky wine bar and realized that your sweater is covered in Dora stickers. Lovely.
Cheerio :)
I love the photo too. Mr. A was 7months old and I still had natural curl in my. I look at the photo and can remember the feel of his chubby little baby arms and legs. Now Mr. A is 6'2" and towers over me.
You know when you are a Nana..when the grandkids come over and your happy when daughter comes to get them.
