I have a 5 year old so have been through it all before but my 20 month old still cracks me up. She doesn't talk much so its all action. She gets her shoes every morning before breakfast and tries to put them on to go outside and is adamant we need to make a tour of our yard. If her shoes are not close then its her sisters shoes, anything. As soon as she hears any music she starts to wiggle her butt and finds the one spot in the living room where she starts to dance (only that spot). The amount of excitement and hand clapping for an apple sauce pouch is so very over the top adorable. If given said pouch will be adamant she needs to eat it in her high chair and not standing up.
I find age 18 to 2 to be real first glimpses into their personalities and its hilarious. Then they start to talk a lot more too and its a different kind of funny (my first talked late as well).

Same.
When my DD was little, she did not want to change clothes in her room because of the stuffed animals. She said, “they have eyes”.

That can happen to anyone at any age. In this case, overload and his body has too much of bromelain.
- pulling fuzz off his sweater is hysterically funny.
Oh, that is just being a child and discovering new ways of having fun with things. Known also as child's play

Considering that this amazes you so much, first time parent and not too much contact with the kid daily?

Wow, sweetie, you have way too much time on your hands and no sense of humor. Go out and get a little life for yourself.

Your nanny has a bmw? That’s an odd thing to post.

For God’s sake, it’s what the toddler said!! My toddler can list off at least ten makes of cars. It’s funny!

I think this was the entire point of the post..

I have such a vivid memory of suddently being terrified of my favorite stuffed animal as preschooler. I put it on the other side of my room under the nightlight to get it away, but that made it look even more scary! I hid from it under my covers for a while. Then, suddenly I felt bad for it being all alone under the nightlight and thought it was lonely so I went and got it. Kids are weird!

My toddler daughter insists we put on multiple scarves and (in front of a full length mirror always) goes “Spin! Spin Mommy! We are laaaaadies!” So we spin and I feel sick quickly. She could do it all day.

My 2 year old sat on a stump in the back yard and intently watched the arborist take down a dead tree a couple houses over (it was pretty cool, they were harnessed to the tree and took it down from the top bit by bit).

The vagina means it’s new money.

Cracking up at some of these stories. Almost makes me miss the toddler stage.. almost 😁
