1. She gets emotional over silly things like you calling her “mom” instead of “mama” like you used to just a few months ago.

  2. She falls asleep on the sofa and doesn’t have a clue what you’re watching on TV.

    Another mom: Have you seen Mister Maker on Cbeebies?
    Your mom: Mister Maker???
    You: Yes! I saw it when my mom was sleeping.

  3. Her tummy keeps growing bigger and sounds like a drum when you tap on it.

  4. Her tummy also move and jerks on its own. Very strange.

  5. She keeps having to go to the bathroom.

  6. She can’t seem to do anything without a moan about something hurting.

    Your mom squeezing between the dining room sideboard and chair: Ouch!! The corner of the sideboard just jabbed me in the butt!
    You: Let me kiss it!

  7. She can’t help you learn how to ride your bike without training wheels because she can no longer chase after you!

  8. She eats more junk food than you, e.g., chocolates and buttered toast.

  9. You no longer get carried up the stairs, down the street, or to the bus stop but you’ve grown up so much that you don’t even ask Daddy to carry you anymore.

  10. She gives you lots of hugs and kisses and tells you ridiculous things like the baby will love you the most. You think you’ll be ok as long as you still have lots of Bionicles to play with.
