You know you’ve suddenly gone into kiddie mode when the following happen:

Multi colored jelly beans that have been have chewed, then spit out, sitting in the trash can. Well, more like stuck to the trash can.

Requests for butt wiping — which, let’s be clear – I don’t do. That’s about the time I turn to Uncle Brother.

Stepping on random little kid toys that practically have you twisting your ankle in the most bizarre and hidden of places.

Sippy cups that you can’t ever find when you need and can when you don’t.

And my favorite, lots of cuddle time and hugs. I love being an Auntie.
