You've been so busy trying to keep your newborn alive and well that you didn't realize how quickly time flies and now you have a toddler. The terrible twos are upon you and the outlook is bleak. Where did your perfect little angel baby go? You now have a full-grown talking monster, but with a really cute face I might add. 

Everyone says to enjoy each moment with your baby because they grow up so fast. The famous saying that the days are long but the years are short has never been truer. You might forget it in the moment and then you blink and have a toddler on your hands. They can talk and move around more quickly than you'd like. They need entertaining and you are their form of entertainment. They have tantrums and are growing teeth. They express their feelings and have real personalities. You can't really explain the life of a toddler to anyone until you've raised one. 

Don't take it too personally if everything you do for your little kiddo seems wrong. This is just preparation for their teenage years. You'll be a pro a decade from now. Enjoy our compilation of memes that'll give you a chuckle raising your not-so-little toddler.
