Life with a 3-year-old is hard. Most nights after bed time, I sit there shell shocked and grateful for the cup of tea I finally get to drink in peace.

• How I survived going from one kid to two

But it's also a joy ride of wonderful moments. The highs are high and the lows are low.

Just ask these parents on Twitter:

My 3 yr old busts in on me while I'm showering so I can open his juice. He walked past his daddy who was perfectly able to do it. ??#momlife
