Even though my little one has only graced us with her presence for just a year, she has imparted a treasure trove of insights. Here’s what her tiny world has taught me:
- Celebrate your achievements! After every bite of food, give yourself a round of applause. Encourage others to join in. Eating is a big deal, and you’re doing great!
- Embrace the art of waving. Not just at people, but at everything—your reflection, the friendly face on the paper towel package, even the artwork on the wall. Spread joy with your waves!
- Take a moment to marvel at your fingers. They’re incredible! And don’t forget about those little toes—offer them up for a nibble to the nearest friend. Trust me; it’s a fun gesture.
- When you kiss, let it be a full-on, slobbery affair. The wetter, the better!
- Whenever music plays, let loose and dance! It doesn’t matter if there’s no music; create your own rhythm. Remember, it’s more fun to dance when everyone is watching.
- Get thrilled when you spot a dog! Point, laugh, and share the joy. They are truly the funniest creatures around!
- Flash those big smiles! Even if your mouth is full or you have just a handful of teeth, let your happiness shine through.
- If you find a book you love, read it over and over until you know it by heart. And then, keep reading it. Good stories deserve endless revisits!
- Not a fan of a certain food? Don’t hesitate to spit it out. Life’s too short to eat things you dislike.
- Surprise someone with a hug! You never know who might need a little extra warmth in their day.
- Redecorating is key. Those cushions belong on the floor! And that tidy stack of laundry? Definitely needs to be on the ground too. Floor decor is the way to go!
- Life is a grand game of peek-a-boo. I see you!
- You can choose your friends, your nose, and even your friend’s nose. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do.
- Flaunt your curves. Stick that belly out and wear clothing that showcases every beautiful roll.
- No matter how many times you are pulled away from that forbidden bowl of dog food, always return to it when no one is looking. Persistence is key!
So, the next time life gives you lemons, why not toss them on the ground? That’s what a toddler would suggest! Their wisdom can be delightfully amusing.
