Toddler-ing

Having a toddler is no joke. And if you don’t have a toddler yet; imagine raising a heavily caffeinated chimpanzee who’s allergic to sleep.

Speaking of caffeine, that’s my saving grace. Coffee + my kids giggles get me through the day. Because let’s be real, at one point (probably a few) your little human is going to act like a little sh!t. I mean that in the nicest, most truthful way. I’ll go from wanting to rip out my hair to not wanting to let my baby go when he runs up to me and wants to be held. This kids got me falling in love every other minute. Because that’s parenthood, experiencing one extreme to the other.

My little guy is going through a very independent stage. The one where it takes 30 minutes to put on shoes, but can delete a few apps, disable your iPhone, and accidentally call someone in your contact list, in 15 seconds. Need to learn patience? Have a child. But that’s the thing; this pint size human has taught me more in the last 16 months, than I’ve ever experienced. We’re both learning and growing together. Some days I learn that I need 5 cups of coffee to function, but I wouldn’t trade this mama-life for anything.
Just a few things to remember:

1. Bedtime comes eventually
2. Chasing a toddler counts as cardio
3. Never make eye contact with a toddler who’s almost asleep

And there’s nothing better than having a right-hip sidekick. I’m so thankful this little person has made me a mama.
