That toddler life —26-month-old

You've got this. Wake up. Spill my breakfast. Put my pants on. Take my pants off. Draw with crayons. On mom's wall. Ask for Cheerios. Dump them on the floor. Ask to go to the park. Fall asleep on the stroller ride there. Toddler life is the best life. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. ✨Magic Erasers really are magic. ✨

Just. SLEEP. —29-month-old

You've got this. Sleep is one of the great challenges of motherhood. Your bed is so close—yet, so far. If you're doing the 3 am shuffle this week, know this: all bad sleep habits will (one day) come to an end. And coffee is always your friend. ☕️ XO, TeamMotherly P.S. This is how our sleep expert helps her kids to fall asleep—and stay asleep.

Happy days ☀️—24-month-old

Things that make us happy: Slobbery toddler kisses, bedtime snuggles, and that time she pooped in the potty all on her own! There's so much joy to be found in this #momlife. This week, may you notice the simple happiness all around. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Keep it simple: This mom and pediatrician's 10 secrets for happy + healthy kids are too good.

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. There's no force on earth stronger than motherly love. XO, TeamMotherly

Two is terrific, not terrible♥️—24-month-old

You've got this. Don't listen to the rumors: While two can be trying, it's mostly terrific. Promise. ♥️ Two-year-olds have round little faces, sweet little voices, and a brain full of fun (and okay, mischief). Use this time to hone your positive parenting skills and invest in techniques that will guide your family through good times and bad. But it's mostly just soooo good. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. These 26 phrases really DO help calm an angry child. You're welcome! ✌️

I see you!—25-month-old

You’ve got this.

Soooo big—26-month-old
