Just some photos that warm me up 🧡

Not to wax poetic here, but we are in the thick of some of the most trying times we’ve had as parents. I think it feels extra hard because we are both learning how to regulate our nervous systems as we teach our toddler to do the same. 2.5 is such a fun age, but it is equally as exhausting—between the “NOs” and the “don’t do that’s”, the sleep regressions and the new found independence, we are tired—but in between all of those, there’s also a new abundance of “ I wuv yous” and silly giggles, little conversations about everything he’s learning and it’s simply the best.

The array of emotions we are all feeling daily are shocking if I’m being honest. I have never been so stressed out and consciously aware of it in my life. After reading The Let Them Theory I’ve become hyper-aware of my “control” issues (a coping mechanism) and also realized how that just doesn’t really work when you have kids. You can’t control much in this life, other than yourself. I’m learning to surrender to the chaos and find the glimmers. Enjoy the hard times for what they are because before you know it they’ll be gone.

So to all the toddler parents out there having a rough go, I see you. I feel you. This s**t is hard, but it’s also pretty special. ✨

And to think I was afraid to have a daughter 💗
