9. Extending a shoe-shopping fetish to 20 extra tiny toes.
8. Two words: Mr. Bubble
7. Ordering Mac n' Cheese at a restaurant from the children's menu (for myself).
6. Eating gummy vitamins, in pajamas, while getting my learn on watching Sesame Street.
5. Using the excuse, "Excuse me, gotta go, my kid is (insert phrase) overflowing the bathtub, biting her brother, coloring on the walls/getting into the vodka/driving the car...) to get off the phone.
4. Naming rights: First, Middle, and Last
3. Noodle necklaces, finger-painting, blowing bubbles, playing catch, handprints, sand castles, backwards letters, believing in Santa.
2. Bedtime kisses Every. Single. Night.
And the #1 (Secret) Perk of Having Kids:
1. Pimping out your kid to cut in line for the bathroom.
(No, I wouldn't do that.)

This is priceless. I'm still laughing as I type this comment for ya!
Well, all I can say, is that I would NEVER have let you play with macaroni or take a bath in Mr. Bubble. I was more a "let's jump in the car without seat belts and let's do donuts in the parking lot" kind of mom.
I guess everyone has a different list.
I'm so with you on #9...aren't shoes SO cute in their tiny little sizes? My girlie has more shoes than I do, I think, and still insists on stomping around in mine every chance she gets.
mmmm. mac n cheese. night time kisses are my absolute fav!
love your list.
You are so right on these! This post is so real. While we all try to be the best we cam at motherhood, sometimes being the best means breaking the rule!!! You have make memories, right?
You forgot Play-Doh. That's a big perk right there!
Ha ha ha this is soooo true!
Cute post :)
Mr Bubble is the best!
