I was the same but TBH the toddler years have been great so far and DS us 2.5. He makes me smile and laugh every day with the gorgeous things that come out of his mouth. He is so affectionate, loving and basically just heaps of fun. He doesn't really have tantrums, he has great language skills so most of the time he tells me what's bothering him.
The world through a toddlers eyes is an amazing magical place.
Sterla I'm crapping my dacks about toddlerhood with DS too - especially seeing I'll be dealing with him and a new little bub
But this thread has really reassured me too. I can't wait for that talkative, affectionate & communicative side to come out as DS grows. I think he's going to be a real little character and I can't wait to have all that fun with him.
Toddlers are great fun! It's so awesome watching them turn into little people . Neither of my boys have been big tantrum throwers. If they ever did/do throw one it is usually because they are tired, hungry or teething. I just ignore the tantrums and they end pretty quickly LOL!
A whole new world opens up once they become toddlers, they learn to talk with you, play with you, cuddle you. They are independent and you can go out and do a lot more than you could when they were babies.
The transition is so unnoticeable too, so you cope just fine. It's not like they wake up one day as a toddler that you know nothing about! You learn along with them
I also wanted to mention that DS is such a great little helper. He loved helping me with jobs. He fetches things, helps with gathering up clothes fir the laundry, puts away toys, gets his own plate/cup and he has recently started helping with the dishes. He loves helping and it so useful to me.
