Before I became a parent, I would go over to my friend's houses who had kids and gaze at the mass of destruction that laid in the wake of their children. Every time I saw this, I'd ask myself- why? Why does your house look like a tornado went through it? I was so judgmental, and I thought that these were just bad parents to let their houses go to waste. However, since having my own child, I've very quickly learned that I was totally wrong. Here is a short list of the things that my own toddler has absolutely obliterated since bringing her home from the hospital-

1) Her toys

2) My clothing

3) My furniture

4) Our walls

5) My sanity

6) No, seriously- our walls have so much unidentifiable crap on it that it's starting to scare me.

7) Any will I had to clean

8) Their own clothing

9) All of our plates

10) My desire to buy any kind of nice things

11) My expensive shoes

12) My patience

13) All of my books

14) My ability to read the news

15) My computer keys (she likes to pick them off one by one)

16) My heart
