There's no one "thing" that makes them irresistible. I must confess that it was working around this age group of kids that tugged on my heartstrings to have a baby of my own. Part of the "melt-my-heart-ness" for me is the chubbiness and rpundness of their little faces and bodies. They are in between babies and little ppl in the world. I love their assertiveness and growing independence. I enjoy cutting up food into bite size pieces. The teeny toys that they play with using their pudgy hands. Those hands and faces sure do get sticky at every meal. The daunting task of potty training along with their beeming pride @ every success. They already have their own sense of humor and will CRACK UP at the oddest things. The giggle of a tot is priceless. Don't even get me started on the toddler aisles at the store. All the sippy cups, suuction cup bowls.little bitty cutlery because they can't yet maneuver the tools we adults use to eat. And with toddlers, you can still get away with baby clothes like onesies and one piece outfits. My little one's artistic expression is awesome. She is meticulous about everything she does. Each embellishment has a place.
Embracing the joy of toddler-hood is the only thing keeping my positive emotions afloat. My Cassie will only be One year old for 4 more weeks. I am graeful for her health and all she has learned. She will always be mamahs baby. And I know she will be a toddler until age 4 unlike the baby stage that only lasted about 2 yrs :( There are times I wish I could put a drrop in plastic liner into a playtex bottle and feed her formula then burp her. Those days are long gone. Now I have vegetable wars and meat protests of a toddler lol.
the perfect book for the mood is "I Love You Stinkyface". And yes I love my little Stinkyface Cassie
