Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.
i was giving little wagon rides to a baby around the backyard one day and all of a sudden she hops off and slaps the seat of the wagon telling me to get on because it was my turn and i was like no it’s ok im too heavy and she was like NO ITS UR TURN and kept tugging on my hand so i would sit down. eventually i got on and it was just a little 2 year old trying so hard to push me around on a wagon not understanding why it wouldn’t budge but still so determined to let me have my turn lol
I work at a daycare with 2-year-olds and really frequently when I pass by one of my kids I just give their hair a little pat or ruffle, both as a way of letting them know I’m coming through so they don’t move suddenly and trip me, and just as a way of checking in, saying hey, taking their temp, etc. Well today we were playing inside and I was sitting on the carpet because we were playing ring around the rosie and I was tired, and one of my baby boys came up to me and gave my hair a rub and pat. And like it took me a second to realize what he was doing but, yeah. He was saying “hi.” He was saying “I love you”
When the toddlers ol clean up, we give them ice cubes to suck on and we congratulate them on their hard work. One time when I was helping a boy pick up a huge block and he told me “you need TWO ice cubes”.
