In a minute, sweetie. Mommy needs her meme time. 

Moms and dads are truly put to the test when their angelic, sweet baby becomes a toddler. Suddenly more mischievous than a kitten and faster than a rocket, toddlers wreak havoc on the entire household, often terrorizing everyone, including the family dog. Unable to control the full spectrum of human emotion, but strong enough to enclose a fistful of rice beyond retrieval, toddlers are at a funny point in their lives where they are wildly unstable, making parents really reconsider their sanity. Alas, as parents survive the aptly named 'Terrible Two's,' they get pushed to their absolute limit.  

"Hakuna Matoddler"—it means no relaxing for the rest of your days.

But once the baby is down for a nap and the toys put away, the peaceful wonder of a job well done washes over every good parent. Because when their plump little cheeks tempt a wholehearted kiss, parents are reminded why they love their little scoundrel more than anything in the world—and that makes it all worth it.
