Things that make me feel Mommy-ish

Inspired by an email with my girlfriends...

THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A
(REAL LIVE, NOT JUST PLAYING HOUSE) MOMMY

currently, organizing Sofia's birthday party
putting on band-aids
buckling shoes
going to school meetings
seeing the group of us out of the corner of my eye in the video camera picture when we skype
calling the clan for dinner

So, those of you with kiddos, what makes *you* feel like a (real live, not just playing house) parent?
