Oh, the joys of having a toddler. The constant neediness, attention seeking behaviour and of course that lovely word "no", which I hear more times a day then I would ever like to.
Leda has discovered a love for the toilet, a hatred for the change table and absolutely opposes with great reverence anything being shut on her...dishwasher, doors, toilet lid etc. This of course is met with screaming and Leda flailing about on the floor. It usually ends within a minute and is followed by fits of hysterics at whatever Leda finds funny at that moment. Thankfully Leda's laughing counter balances very nicely with her tantrums and I am thankful for that.
I believe that children are made adorable so that we can better tolerate them while they begin to learn the ins and outs of the world. Thankfully when Leda is freaking out about the change table she protests by hugging me tightly, refusing to let go and I guess I can accept the giant hug in return for a small battle which I know I will eventually win. When Leda is griping about doors shutting or being taken away from the toilet she yells "MA-MOO!!!" and I cant help but laugh at my new endearing nickname that she has given me.
I try to take it all in and appreciate this time for what is because just like pregnancy and infancy I am going to miss it when its gone.
