You Know You're a (former) Teacher If...

- you get GIDDY when you buy new pens (or any 'school supply' for that matter!)

- you give your teacher look and use your teacher voice to the kids at the park who are ugly to your kids and their mom doesn't seem to care/notice...

- you find yourself asking your TWO year olds, "What do you think will happen next?" when reading them a book.

- you have more fun coloring, gluing, using glitter, and drawing than your children do.

- you find yourself teaching your kids their colors... before they can even talk.

- your children stop the naughty thing they're doing after seeing you give them the "look" you perfected in the classroom.

Anything else, Teachers?? ;)

You say, "Now, was that a good choice?"... directed to your husband! Love this post. This weekend I am posting pictures of Hannah in the bloomers you sent us. They are precious! Thank you again!

I didn't know you were a teacher?! I was a 6th grade math/science teacher "back in the day!" LOL!

I'd add that you prop your babies up in front of the computer before they can even sit up! (Even bought a toddler keyboard when my girls were 7 months old! Ha!)

You still use Post-It notes like they're going out of style!!!

I did the teaching colors thing and my kids now know most of their colors...including purple, gray, and brown. What 2 year olds need to know the color gray?

I always ask "what do you think will happen next?" and then someone inevitable toots on my lap!

when you teach them how to spell their name by singing a song! We taught Brayden to spell his name singing London Bridge is falling down...and we sing it whenever we brush his teeth!
