“Hazel” is a very happy girl, but sometimes she’s not! I wrote about how we’re dealing with those moments. Sometimes during hard times when I take a breath she says “no mommy! no breathe!” open.substack.com/pub/amberrol...

i have this app that i use to track my toddler’s sleep and after i put her to bed it asks if she’s protesting or if she fell asleep. but my two year old is not protesting per say, she just spends 10-15 mins after i leave the room to catching up with her stuffed penguin named Bilum.

our almost 2 year old woke up a little grumpy from her nap today. as she was complaining “mommy no put me down” and other regulars, she pointed at a pic on our shelf and said in the same whine “that’s paul verhoeven”
