My toddler is currently barking and scooting his butt across the floor like the dog we saw at the park last week, but on the bright side at least I likely don’t have to deworm him.

My toddler was eating a crayon so she got her daily serving of greens today, blues too.

Parenting a child going through the terrible twos in the middle of a pandemic really is a “hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck.” #parenting #terribletwos #COVID19 #sendwine #sendchocolate

Hi, my name is Elle and I am completely controlled by my 2 year old son. #parenting #terribletwos #alexasendholywater

Stepping on legos is the worst pain? Try doll accessories and dragon action figures. #footpain #ouch #toddlers

Went to get my son who was playing quietly in his bed this morning. What was he quietly playing with you may ask? A little ball of poop from his dirty diaper. #yuck #toddlers

Well I’ve officially reached the “keys flushed down the toilet” age of parenting. #TerribleTwos

Has anyone ever noticed how many similarities there are between toddlers and velociraptors? They both can get into anything, have sharp claws and teeth, like to bite, test all boundaries, hide in small spaces, and jump out at you randomly. #thoughtsonmom #momlife #toddlers

I tried the *screams* *screams higher* and I’m letting you know it does NOT work. #toddlers

How does one small person generate so much #laundry? And he often keeps clothes clean enough to last more than 1 day! #toddlers #parenting

“Come here let me check your diaper” *runs faster away* #toddlers

Gave my toddler chocolate milk for the first time and she was simultaneously confused AF and overjoyed. I had to pry it out of her hands for nap time. 😆#toddlers

My Monday started with oatmeal being thrown at me, it landed on my neck and slid down into my boob crack. Hope yours is better. #toddlers

I feel like my toddler could give rock stars a run for their money in a contest to see who could trash a room more thoroughly. #toddlers

E turned 2 yrs two weeks ago and it's like a switch flipped. Every day, multiple battles. Someone please tell me it's worth it. #toddlers

I have a better chance of wrestling an alligator and winning than I do taking away something my toddler does not want to let go of. #momlife #toddler

My 2 year old just threw a tantrum while doing a headstand. I am not sure if I should be impressed or terrified.#terribletwos #toddler #momlife

Parenthood is having to poop with the door open for fear your toddler will get into something. #momlife #parenting #toddler

One of those mornings when you drop the kid at nursery at 7.31am when it opens at 7.30am 🤦🏼‍♀️ #terribletwos

— Kathryn Lord (@RynTin85) October 29, 2020

I just posted about a tantrum 7 minutes ago. We started throwing another one about 3 minutes ago because I wouldn’t give her a second cheese stick. #thisisTWO #terribletwos

In case anyone was wondering what it was like to have a toddler, mine just came over, bit me and then proceeded to give me a hug #parenthood #momlife #toddlermom #toddler #girlmom #parenting
