For those of you that have experienced this (or similar ages) with a new born, what 3 words would you use to describe the experience. Mum's and Dad's can answer and can be good or bad - Words to be used in a fun game at a baby shower!
Doesn't have to be super powers just qualities and skills that you may have had or even may have had to learn or develop!!
Thanks in advance for helping!

Not superpowers but:

Don't need sleep
It's 4 am!
Jelly in hair
Yoghurt on T shirt
Jammy fingers everywhere
Where's my phone?
(Phone's In loo!)
Postman Pat again??
This little piggie
Don't touch that!
Don't eat that
Off to Grandma's
Look! A tractor!
Waving to ambulances
Blowing big bubbles
Jumping in puddles
(Swimming in puddles)
Where's your blankie?
Nappy change time
Please, please sleep
Kiss it better?
Hugs and kisses
Five o'clock loonies
Telly time now
Daddy's home, yayyyyyy!
Splashing in bath
Soft towel snuggles
Kissing little toes
Very hungry caterpillar
Night night teddy
