    The Terrible Twos
  • Speaking in baby talk
  • Knowing your kid is the cutest and smartest
  • Trying to get back into your skinny jeans
  • Remembering what sleep was like
  • Critiquing other people’s parenting skills
  • Receiving unsolicited parenting advice
  • The collision of “theory” and “practice”
  • Wiping up all manner of toxic excretion
  • The end of spontaneity
  • Packing a full on suitcase for the simplest of outings
  • Saving for college
  • Never-ending worry
  • Incredibly bad crayon artwork on the fridge
  • Calling your spouse “mommy” or “daddy”
  • Suppressing moments of unmitigated rage
  • Constantly second-guessing yourself
  • A higher understanding of selflessness
  • No longer needing an alarm clock
  • Your living room constantly looking like a toy store
  • Baby-proofing the entire house
  • Realizing you ARE just like your parents after all
  • Moments of unsurpassed awe
  • Incomprehensible love
  • Becoming a conservative
  • Having the next kid
