Be kind. You never know how often a mom got up last night. Life changes every day when you have a toddler. One of the huge changes is where they sleep. Knowing if it's time, when and how to transition him from his crib to his bed doesn't come naturally, but your love for him does. So don't sweat the changes, mama. You've got this. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. First nights in a big kid bed are made way easier by bed bumpers, to keep your little one in place.

Let’s fly —33-month-old

Don't ever lose your sense of wonder. To a child, the most "ordinary" things are magical—an ant walking on the sidewalk, the first snowfall of the season, a bird flying in the sky—and if you think about, it IS all pretty amazing. Take some time to join them as they marvel at these little miracles. And pretty soon, you'll believe in the magic too. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Magnatiles inspire hours of creative play for kids and parents!

Find me where the wild things are. Your toddler's pearly white are adorable… until they're locked on your arm flesh. Naughty behaviors like biting and hitting can be tough to deal with. Remember that this is a phase, and with some loving firmness from you, your tot will be on his way to a biting free existence. XO, TeamMotherly P.S.

Keep it simple, mama —32-month-old

There is beauty in simplicity. Having a toddler means 3 things—love, noise and STUFF. It's easy for our homes to become quickly overrun by toys, stuffed animals and Legos on the floor (#ouch). Ever have the urge to just bundle it up and donate it all? You might actually be on to something… aren't you clever! XO, TeamMotherly

We just want to let you know that you are doing an AMAZING job, and your efforts are not in vain. You've got this. XO, TeamMotherlyP.S.

A little bit louder now —26-month-old

There is a time and place for wine. Now, and in my hand. We've all been told to ignore the tantrums, that they are just a cry for attention. But what if it's more than that? What is it's not actually about attention, but connection? Sometimes a hug is just what is needed… for your toddler and for you. (And sometimes mama just needs a glass of wine and time to unwind with her friends. That helps, too.)XO, TeamMotherly P.S. In My Heart: A Book of Feelings by Jo Witek is awesome for helping little ones connect with and identify their emotions.
