If all 2 year olds combined

they could take over the WORLD!

No, really, I think they could.

I'm pretty sure there's a reason motherhood makes you lose your brain/memory... it's so you can forget most of the "two" year.

Really, it is such a fun year.... but really, it's such a hard year....

We've been potty training this week.

One week.

That's it.

And the crazy thing is, Little Miss caught on so much quicker than her big brothers. So, I should be counting my lucky stars... right? That precious girl of mine has an iron will! She does what she wants, when she wants.

And often what she wants has nothing to do with the potty. Even though she gets it! She knows how to "hold" it, where to go... all that jazz. She just at time chooses not to do it.

People tell me I just need to be tough... consistent.

I have always been pretty good at being tough, consistent with a whole lot of love in-between. But I've never had to try to figure out the "will of steel"!

Here's the other thing I realize with 3 boys growing like weeds. Two, as hard as it is, is a blink of the eye. It's gone before you know it.

And the thing is, I don't want to loath or wish away her 2's. Or any of her ages. I want to enjoy the beautiful parts {because there are lots of them!} and endure the miserable ones {which any mother of a 2 year old knows, there are plenty of those as well}.

Here's what I'm thinking.

*We band together with other mothers!

They know!

They've been there... or they are going through it right with ya!

*Eat chocolate, to sustain you!

*And try to remember, it won't last forever.
