Parenthood is one heck of a journey. From the woes, mysteries, and beauty of pregnancy, to the miracle of childbirth, and then the moment you hold that tiny, dependent human in your arms for the first time it is all a wild ride and none of it prepares you for a couple years down the road when you've spent countless hours wrist-deep in poop and your hair says, "I've given up."
It's only human nature to look back at what life was like before these little tornadoes rode in on waves of chaos with as many boogers as they had kisses and snuggles to offer. And when you do go back and look at memory lane, your nice hair, your slimmer figure, your party days... do yourself a favor and take an after picture.
Because the only way to get through the chaos is to have a belly laugh. If you don't believe me take a look for yourself at all those who have taken the "Got Toddlered" challenge, many thanks to the hilarious blog Dad and Buried, before you:

Look out of all the parenting realities on the planet nothing is more real than this: they may have their own plates of the same food but yours is the food they want to eat. You will never eat again unless the food has already been sniffed, licked, touched, and/or sneezed and coughed on by grubby, little fingers.Dad and Buried

If you always wanted a race car bed then having kids is a great thing because they can hog your king sized bed and you can get a good night's sleep in their race car bed. Win-win.Dad and Buried
