My daughter is 21 months and it has completely warped my perception of time. It seems like she is simultaneously growing up so quickly but is also still just a tiny human that has been in the outside world for nearly two years.

She’s long since entered the stage where she is a little parrot, and then some… and no matter how quietly her dad tries to swear under his breath, she somehow manages to hear it with her supersonic dog-like hearing and repeat it.

I called my 26 month old a 'pill' yesterday while conversing with my older half sister on Marco Polo. He was being such a handful. She watched and heard as he said "pill pill pill" proudly over and over. It was hilarious.

So Terrible Twos are actually a real thing? My daughter just turned 2 and instantly started acting like me giving her a bath was the equivalent of being violently murdered. Also throwing tantrums over every little thing.

Sigh lol.

From my experience 6 to 11 years old is the sweet spot for children. Before that or after that require constant supervision

Our oldest we never really had any issues or the terrible twos stage... One time I can think of she had a major major major meltdown because Walgreen's f-ing scanner would not scan a Magic Mixies correctly... Never seen anything like it. She was 3 or 4... She took the umbrella out of the stroller and smashed the handle on the side walk, yelled at people when they walked by etc... Magic Mixies... lol I was in awe over it...

Our youngest daughter who is 13 months is just teething bad... So far we have dodged this bullet...

Now my golden retriever who is a little over one has definitely entered the terrible twos lol lol lol

Days are long, years are short. My daughter is 8.5 and it feels like yesterday she was 3

2 year old here has some really great days and some really bad ones. He's a little angel at preschool, though!

Right now Dada is trying to get him some OKC toddler one piece pajamas. We still like onesies as he's still early in potty training and sometimes likes to play with diaper contents now. There was literally just one of these left, so Dada asked if there was another team I liked (he recalled there was!). I explained the Cavs, but the Cavs don't have toddler pajamas.

I will also add one other thing: Even when they're having meltdowns, **try** to take joy in it. These are little problems, big problems will happen.

For example, just yesterday my daughter (and her friend) – both very smart & kind – decided to help an older woman / stranger find her dog. Didn't see them for an hour, panic set in, talking to myself "I know you're not stupid enough to go into this persons house" and of course they were stupid enough to go into their house.

Now, we live in Rocky River – a place that doesn't have high crime. That said, the sure panic I had for that 1 hour stretch was something I never want to live through again (spoiler: Im sure I will lol)

My kid is not even 16 months and is already a complete fucking asshole. Tantrum city. Over everything basically

He's cute though.
