Hey if you could spare a prayer for my 2-year-old right now, his granola bar wrapper was pulled down slightly too low and it’s unclear if a recovery from this is possible.

Things that made my toddler cry this week:
– wants all of her fingers to be the same length
– I wouldn't let her eat a sponge
– her feet were sandy (we were at the beach)
– she doesn't want to be an only child (her brother "does not count")

How about your kid?

My toddler threw a tantrum after I made him breakfast. Couldn’t figure out how to stop it then my wife comes over and makes him stop crying by moving the milk bottle from the left side of his breakfast plate to the right.

My toddler’s daycare apparently uses the “clean up” song. My husband and I discovered this yesterday when we started singing it and it activated our kid like she was a sleeper agent and she immediately started putting her toys away.

Sometimes when I’m telling my 2yo what we are going to do that day he will add a detail he wants to be true like “we will see a firetruck there” and I’ll say “um, maybe, but it’s not in the plan” but he just keeps repeating it like a threat??? “There WILL be a firetruck there.”
