There's nothing like being a mommy...

Really.  There's nothing like:

• ...getting your nose quite forcefully wiped with the (formerly clean) sock that someone just noisily blew his own into.
• ...being fed goldfish after goldfish and watching his joyful smile as you crunch each one.
• ...sitting in the walmart aisle for 20 minutes playing with walk/ride toys trying to figure out which one he likes best.
• ...getting bopped in the head with a big roll of birthday wrapping paper that he insists on holding.
• ...getting a slightly slobbery but totally unexpected baby kiss.
• ...waking up 45 minutes before the alarm and not being allowed to go back to sleep until you're both fully dressed, sitting on the couch with baby and you both fall asleep while taking 'just a minute' to cuddle.
• ...hearing "Momom" come out of his mouth, whether he wants something or is just stating a fact.
• ...watching him head to the kitchen with a diaper and feeling your heart swell with pride that he's picking up on the correct use of the trash can.  And then following to find him dipping it in the dog water.
