Maybe this will make you feel better. You will have more wonderful years with her than these terrible 2s and 3s. My grandson at 3 would lay down in grocery store floors and scream and be hard to pick up. He would hit us and cry and yell if he wasn’t ready to leave a playground. He is now an adult and the nicest person. He is smart and caring. She wond be like this forever.

Always a good reminder and it's so hard to remember the impermanence of it all when you're in it. The last few nights have been so much easier. The waves of parenthood!

So well said/beautifully written. “It feels hard because it is hard” has been my parenting mantra so far. You guys are doing an amazing job 💛 Humbly taking notes from the parents in the work of what’s to come with growing toddlers exploring their world/emotions...it’s so hard.

Thank you Amelia. I heard something else about how if you think it's hard, then you're doing a good job. Also every kid is different so who knows what C will be up to when she's 3. Also the tantrums can be pretty funny sometimes.
