Wanting to be carried
The thrill of learning to walk and run may have launched your toddler into perpetual motion. She just doesn't want to stop – especially to do something as unexciting as sleep! Then again, sometimes a child perfectly capable of walking on her own two feet wants to be carried. A lot.( this mama is not carrying her toddler around- I cant pick up more than 25lbs)
Consider the circumstances. In public, your child may feel small and vulnerable or fear being lost. She may truly be tired. She may crave attention or affection. Carry her if you want to, but if you're going more than a block or two from home or the car, bring a stroller to save your back.
Charlotte is a little "chatty cathy"! What she reminds me of are the Chinese ladies at the nail salon that talk so fast but you cannot understand anything they are saying but look at you like "I just asked you a question.. are you going to answer?". So funny. I did learn that toddlers learn the art of language before learning the language and I would say she is right on!
We did find out this week that Charlotte is allergic to peanuts/peanut butter so we are very cautious of what she eats and what she doesnt. Halloween and Christmas candy and Grammy's yummy pecan pie might be our biggest battles!
We had a great father's day! He was pampered all day! We made breakfast for dada played really hard in the basment and then made him yummy pizza while he relaxed and enjoyed his day!
