Things I Didn't Know Until I Became A Mom

There are a million things that going through your mind when you first find out that you're pregnant. You think you know what you're about to go through. You think you know how this little person will be once they arrive.

In reality you don't. At least I didn't.

Miss K amazes me every single day with whatever new things comes out of her mouth or whatever new skill or habit she picks up on.

So in true Running In Pearls fashion I give you a bullet point list of things I didn't know would happen or how I know I'm a mom now.

• No matter what you're doing or how big of a hurry you're in in the mornings, your child will always lose a shoe before you walk out the door. Even if you just put them on her. Always.
• Remember when you were growing up and your parents told you that you're children will be just like you? Truth.
• It doesn't matter if she is only a one year old. She can and will sass you.
• Watch what you say because again even though she is only a one year old, she can still repeat what you say. Thanks GiGiPa for getting her to say "Bubble Butt".
• She will know how to work a remote, an xbox, dvr player, direct tv box, computer, an iPad, and an iPhone. Any "i" device is her favorite.
• She will know where her snacks are and get them herself.
• She will try to put her shoes on when you ask her to go get them. Then get in a huff when you try to help her. At one she's already trying to be independent.
• You will know exactly what she's doing when all you hear is "uh-oh".
• Sometimes you will have to have Superman speed to catch things before she notices that you see what she has so she doesn't drop whatever it is and breaks it.
• They like to walk backwards everywhere and especially walk backwards then sit on your head.
• You ARE a horse, a chair, a bed, a rug, a drum, and a ladder.
• They think every animal and small child they see is a "puppy".
• When you turn corners in your car and a teapot starts singing.
• You have a sticker for her private school on your car and she.has.a.teacher.assigned.to.her.in.July.

Holy crap I'm a mom.
