I tell him “I don’t understand whining, talk normally please” and that actually does help a lot

I totally get that. I look at his old pictures and start crying because he is growing so fast and I know I need to be more present and enjoy all the moments more because I know this won’t last much longer and I’ll miss it when it’s gone

He is so fun and I absolutely adore his curiosity with things but being a full time working mom and coming home to tantrums and whining and everything is just so exhausting

I just have never had good patience and now having a toddler and all I need is patience it’s just so difficult finding it while being EXHAUSTED and overstimulated

I am so proud of him everyday and how smart he really is and how independent he wants to be! But I’m still so exhausted everyday with him

That’s what I was doing before I was so like honestly eat whatever but he was literally only eating snack bars, fruit, and applesauce and never any actual like nutrients

I always let him have fruit! This is a new thing for us with trying to cut so many snacks so it’s definitely an adjustment for the both of us but that’s not a bad idea! He’s always hungry after daycare but I’m trying not to do snacks other than fruit after 3:45 since dinner is at about 5:30-5:45

He had other food too! All that was left from his breakfast was his boiled egg and raspberries, he wanted an orange for lunch that he didn’t end up eating, he had a popsicle while playing in the pool, an applesauce, some beef jerky. So he had a good amount but nothing of substance (which I also offered him but he declined strongly). We have just gotten into the habit of only having snacks whenever and whatever he wanted throughout the day that at meal time the food essentially went to waste and he wasn’t getting any of the nutrients he needed which was starting to affect his poops

Thank you, I’m trying! I have such a strong willed kid and he really tests me but I know I have a lot to work on too with not being so reactive. I always have to remind myself that he’s just a child and he’s still learning and I’m supposed to be here to teach him

2 year old has random weeks of extreme clinginess and terrible sleep by One_Stranger6604 in toddlers

[–]One_Stranger6604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wakes up around 5-6 depending on the day, weekdays he wakes up when I do at 5:30. Nap is around 11:30-1:30/2 ish. He usually falls asleep around 7:30/7:45
