Shock to Solace - You look over to see the two year old about to use the 3 month old as a stepping stool. Foot on head. After screaming the toddler off the infant, you notice the peaceful look of the little one, oblivious to the abuse, just happy for the attention.
Silent Frustration - Bed time routine followed: teeth brushed, books read, lights out and eyes closed. Now you are looking to exit the room silently, when they speak in a voice that's far too awake, "I have to pee".
Pride - Because your kid uses the toilet, even if the process is far more contrived and lengthy than just letting them go in their diaper.
Concealed Horror - When they put a small metal object (like a hair clip) in their mouth and start running around, just to make things interesting. You are then forced to chase a 2 year old through the house, in order to fish something out of their mouth without doing anything that would make the event worth repeating, in the child's eyes.
Neutral Reaction To What Were Once Extreme Events - It's remarkable how fast you get used to being thrown up on regularly throughout the day.
