You’re on it —30-month-old

Her intuition is her superpower. It can be really stressful when your child isn't hitting their milestones on cue. The good news is that there is so much you can do (and so many people who can help) should your little one need a little extra guidance. So hang in there, mama. Your kiddo is so lucky (and happy) to have you. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. To promote speech development, play games that allow lots of opportunity for words and sounds, like the Fisher-Price Little People Animal Friends Farm.

Spark —32-month-old

If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart. Watching your little one's creativity spark is one of the greatest joys of motherhood. From drawing to building towers, toddlers are fascinated by making things—and we totally encourage you to get your art on right along with them. XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. For a creativity-inspiring toy that never goes out of style, we love Melissa & Doug's Wooden Block Set.

Believe in fun —34-month-old

Go ahead. Believe in everything. The world is a fascinating place to a toddler. They want to (and do) get their hands on everything so they can explore and learn as much as possible. And the really cool part is that we get to be their guides through it all. So throw your hair into a top-knot, and dive into the adventure with them. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. What could be more fun than exploring how butterflies grow ?? Check out Insect Lore's Butterfly Kit!

You’re so much fun  —28-month-old

Mistakes are proof that you're trying. As your little bean becomes more and more independent, life just gets so fun—especially when you can learn to embrace it (which isn't always easy). But giving your kiddo some more control as she feeds, dresses and entertains herself will thrill her. And ultimately, make things a little easier for you! XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Bento box style lunches are an awesome way to present kids with healthy options while giving them a sense of control over what they eat! We love the PlanetBox version.

Potty training like a boss —25-month-old

The moment when you will stand with all mothers who have come before you and face the challenge that you have been training for all along—potty training ;). Lucky for you, you're a boss. And we're here to tell you that it is totally doable, and (gasp) maybe even be fun! You've (totally) got this. XO, TeamMotherly P.S.

Changes ⏰—26-month-old

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.
