Some people have easy toddlers.
We are not *some people.* Most of our toddlers have been quite difficult.
The really great thing is, because he is my ninth child, I know that given enough time, patience, tolerance, love and stability, even really difficult toddlers grow up to be wonderful people.
A girlfriend of mine has two children and one of them is a handful - and an escape artist. The funny thing is, no one believes her warnings until they witness it themselves. I told her that in today's smaller families, maybe it's rare to get such a child but that when people have bigger families, at least one of them is going to be a difficult toddler. She just lucked out. :)
ReplyDeleteSara, that is a very, very wise thing to say. :) I think you're absolutely right! :)
ReplyDeleteThat pic just cracks me up! :D
ReplyDeleteThose strong willed ones sure do keep us on our toes, don't they? :) I wouldn't have them any other way, either.
