When more paint gets on the table, shirt, and pants than on the paper…When your toddler discovers a drum kit at a family member’s home and bashes the living daylights out of it and begs for his own drum set…
When you question buying a wooden sand box, but realize that your toddler will happily play for hours…
When you don’t have reliable babysitting and you have to bring your toddler to the end-of-school year picnic and he runs amok…
When your toddler is enjoying the splash pad at the waterpark that you stay for an hour…

When your toddler receives a musical instrument toy from his favorite TV show but you instantly regret the purchase when he pushes the buttons down for 10 minutes straight…

The Toddler Years are a minefield of what your toddler can get in to. You may think you won’t survive the toddler years but you will. Hang on…the tide may be bumpy…but toddlerhood is short. Enjoy the moments of calm!
