The CK Daily – Celebrating Turning Two!
Merry Monday! The weekend passed with a blur. We celebrated my youngest daughter’s birthday and had a small get together. It’s hard to believe that she’s already two years old. The amount of growth between the ages of one and two are just astonishing. We were measuring her height from the last year (we take a measurement against a wall every month) and you could see the major height difference between when she turned one to when she turned two. It’s been an absolute blink and you’ll miss it moment.
I guess you could say she has leveled up to become a toddler. With that comes a new set of challenges. I’ve experienced the terrible two’s before, but I don’t think you could ever really prepare for it. Every kid is different. For example, instead of listening to the Frozen soundtrack a million times, we’ve listened to Baby Shark at least two million times. The original video on YouTube has 10 billion views (no joke!)… and I’m sure my family has greatly contributed to that number.
It’s weird to think about how all she’s known her entire life is this COVID world. My hope for her is that the pandemic will end before her third birthday and that she has the opportunity to experience the world post-COVID. I think we’re all ready for that to happen.
