I Thought I Knew...

This post is for all of my friends with toddlers under the age of 2.

Because you think you know, and I'm telling you that you don't.

And I know that you don't, because I've been where you are. And I thought I knew-- and it turns out I didn't.

I thought I knew what it meant to go from room to room cleaning up one disaster after another.
I really didn't.

I thought my toddler was already wild and unruly.
That was nothing.

I thought I knew what a picky eater was like.
But not so much.

I thought I knew what temper tantrums were like.
Turns out there's another level.

I totally thought I knew what it was like to have a 2-year-old.
I was. so. dead. wrong.

People aren't lying about the terrible twos. It's not a myth. It's not a joke.

Just be ready.

You've been warned.
