I love you, you’re perfect, don’t change —24-month-old

It's amazing what love can do. It can get you up in the middle of the night to look for monsters under the bed. (Nope, no monster there, baby.) It can keep you from gagging when you're cleaning up toddler puke. Again. It can keep you going after the hardest days and encourage you in the longest nights.
