#10 Toilet paper isn't limited to the bathroom {see photos above}
#9 As a result of #10 you now get toilet paper from a plastic bag hanging from the toilet dispenser vs. from a roll.
#8 It isn't uncommon to find your cell phone in the shower... or for that matter the remote, sippy cups, legos, etc.
#7 You find random pieces of cheese laying around the house. {Grace's new trick is to store food in her cheeks so you think she's done eating but later she takes it out and lays it wherever she is.}
#6 You find yourself spelling certain words like "cookie" and "ice-cream" even when the child isn't around because you're so used to avoiding those words.
#5 Your living room is no longer filled with decorative objects and plants but instead has been taken over by Fisher Price little people, a ball pit, a cozy coop {because it's too cold to ride it outside}, and puzzle pieces.
#4 The words "uh-oh" and "no-no" are no longer used after something bad happens but now precede something bad that's about to happen. {It's nice she gives us a warning! For example she'll say "uh-oh" and then throw food off her tray}
Speaking of throwing food off the tray...
#3 You have to scrub the floor after every meal.
#2 You only serve spaghetti for dinner if you have time to give a bath immediately following dinner. {While your spouse scrubs the floor!}
#1 You house is filled with more joy, laughter, and love than you have ever known!
