My toddler. She is a tornado that gave birth to a screeching bird that also has mama bear tendencies that splits a personality with one of Santa’s elves. And she is the most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen.
I am her momma…I gave birth to her. But that doesn’t mean that I quite follow the Toddler Logic that she so unapologetically enforces. Our beautiful and gentle mini-mommy can turn into one of those terrifying wolverines due to something as simple as a sippy cup mix-up.
So, keeping the uncharted territory of my toddler’s brain in mind, here is my best guess at what her goals for 2016 might be…
My Toddler’s New Year’s Resolutions For 2016
- Be more productive: start waking up earlier.
- Learn mommy’s real name and call her only by that name…for at least a month.
- Master any and all baby-proofing gadgets, especially that goofy contraption that keeps me out of the “drums” cabinet.
- Find the perfect “safe spot” to keep mommy’s keys.
- Expand my vocabulary with words like “No,” “Juice,” and “More.”
- Discover the exact decibel required to break glass.
- Take better care to keep clean…even if that means wiping my nose with my tongue or licking the germs off my hands.
- Work on my bedtime negotiation skills. *Note: Running away while monstrously screaming doesn’t work.
- Shatter something that is un-shatterable.
- If all else fails and I am just not getting what I want…POKE OUT MY BOTTOM LIP.
What kind of toddler-y goals might your own kiddo make for the upcoming year?

Hi, my name is Lauren. I am the wife of one fine man and the momma of four (huge) young children – three boys and one princess! I love all of them. I mostly clean up messes and feed people all day, and it’s really fun to write about it. Jesus is the rock of my family – we love and serve a mighty King! I hope you leave here full of hope that “tired” can be good.
