What has happened to my sweet little baby 😭

[bothbusyandbored]

I feel like that old harry Enfield sketch of Kevin becoming a teenager only with a toddler!

My adorable bundle of snuggles now screams at me, hits me, falls back in rage if something doesn’t go her way (like a door to her toy house not closing because something is in the way - obviously moving it so the door will shut is out of the question)

Then five minutes later she’s cuddling me and smiling at me.

<wipes brow>

Here are the terrible twos, six months early. I’ll come through the other side eventually …

It gets better when they can communicate better.

Agreed.
Might help to teach a bit of sign language to help with the frustrations.

Babies i am a bit meh about, but I LOVE all the highs and lows of toddler life.

I'm sorry but I had to laugh a bit at this.
They're so funny when they're outraged over nothing at this age.

But yes. Babies become toddlers, which is unfortunate, but things get a lot better even they're about 4/5 and can be reasoned with up to a point.

Sympathies, OP!

It’s not even my first rodeo but I forgot how bloody unreasonable, frustrating and adorable this age is. But I don’t remember the change with DS being as abrupt - it’s as if she’s leaped from sweet, docile baby to tantrumming toddler in two weeks!

It gets better when they’re three / four but then that brings a whole other set of challenges!

Oh yes. Screaming to get out of the highchair, then screaming because they're out of the highchair. Or similar, all bloody afternoon!
