hahaha yes they are! I've gotta say that when I was in your shoes, there were days that felt terribly long, but the years flew by. Now, my boys are in their early twenties, and it's such a pleasure (and a relief:), to see them as adults...kind, caring, and capable adults.

Enjoy all the craziness because before you know it, it's over. I still kill myself laughing, thinking of you waking up in the middle of the night with your toddler staring at you haha It's not much of a comparison, but I wake up with my kitten doing the same ... except she also licks my eyelids ...something I hope your toddler does not do :)
