And while we already know we have a toddler in the home, here are ten signs that mean you will never forget.
There are toys everywhere
Not a day goes by when you don’t step on a sharp block or a piece of Lego.
You haven’t had a hot cup of tea in about a year
Naps are a thing of the past and your toddler has so much energy that you can’t even remember the last time you sat down with a hot cup of tea.
Your washing is piling up
Toddlers are like magnets to dirt going through at least two outfit changes a day. At least.
You have safety locks on everything
You can’t open a cabinet door without first having to remove the child-proof lock.
There is toothpaste all over your bathroom mirror
Smearing tooth paste all over the mirror is way more fun than actually using it to brush your teeth.
There is food stuck somewhere it really shouldn’t be
Behind the couch, in the toy box or under their pillow they have a knack of hiding food in the strangest of places. Why they don’t just eat it you’ll never know.
Your toilet roll is hanging down onto the ground
They have unravelled it so many times that you are sick of putting it back – and you really don’t care anymore.
There is food all over your car window
You gave them a cracker to keep them quiet but you regretted it as soon as they started to smear it all over the window. That’s way more fun than eating it.
Your home is full of noise
Even if you only have one, toddlers can make a lot of noise. A lot.
Your phone has a huge crack
Ok we can’t blame them for everything, but they have dropped it at least once.
