the little things at 20 months old


The transition from baby to toddler is such an interesting time. When they're a baby, you look forward to them walking, crawling, talking, and being more independent. Then when they start walking, crawling, talking and being more independent, you sometimes wish they were still a little baby who stayed in one spot until you moved them. Tantrums, screaming and crying in public places is not enjoyable, frustrating and often times you want to pull your hair out. Chasing them around the house so you can put clothes on them, change their diaper or comb their hair can get annoying. Then there are those little moments that happen randomly throughout the day that make you smile. Those moments remind you why being a parent is such an amazing experience.

Here are some moments to remind myself because before I know it my little, wild daughter won't be a little toddler anymore.

- When I give her an orange, she says "Tank you mama, Oh you welcome"
- When she bumps into the dog, she says "Oh sorry Zeus!"
- When she counts to 10, "one, two, tree, four, fives, sic, seven, eight, nine.... ten!"
- When she tells you to sit down in her little chair, she says "Good girl" after you sit down.
- When she's trying to sing the words of her favorite songs that are constantly on repeat:
                       Taylor Swift - "Shake it off" (she calls the song "Shake")
                       Michael Jackson - "Love Never Felt so Good" (she calls the song "Jackson")
                       Justin Timberlake - "Pusher Love" (she calls the song "JTT" but lately she's been into
                                                        his other songs, depending on her mood)
- When I open an image of her on the computer, she say "Cool!"
- When her dad is doing whatever he can to make her laugh, she says "Papa silly"
- She loves music, so every time she dances is a special treat!
