Last week my 2.5yo told me one of her friends eats worms. We argued about it for a while and I gave up. Talked to her teacher this morning… turns out her friend went around all day Thursday telling everyone she ate worms. 🤷♀️.

It’s the first time my 2 yo has been able to play in the snow. Last winter we got ZERO accumulating snowfall. But this year we finally got enough to play in!!!

I don’t know what we did right, but my 2 yo has started asking to be in her room alone to “calm down” even though we have never done this?? I mean she only wants to be alone for like 30 seconds. But still.
