Different Life

As I was putting Carina to bed tonight after dinner out with Becca and Cari, I was thinking about some of the things that changed in my life after becoming a parent. At dinner Carina spit up on me, which caused Becca to make the comment "babies are gross". So started my list of things that change when you become a parent. Any parents out there have ones to add?
Things that change when you become a parent
-----------------------------------------------
Spit-up is no longer gross, but a fact of life.
Milk is no longer something that just comes from cows.
You believe making a fool of yourself by buzzing like a bee is worth it for nothing more than a smile.
Bottles are now evil things that have to be washed with much greater frequency than the other dishes.
"Poopy" becomes part of your daily vocabulary.
Doing laundry every day no longer seems excessive.
Your criteria for wearing pants again becomes not if the baby spit up on them, but can you tell the baby spit up on them.
You make a list like this and then say in all seriousness - it's great!

Barney really isn't that annoying if it will keep her happy for 10 minutes in the car...
You discover that babies are allergic to red stoplights, indicated by the crying every time one is encountered during a car trip.
HAHAHAHAHA!! That is so true Jen! We still haven't outgrown that allergy in my car... but Barney is a nice distraction. ;)
