Celebrating the Big and Small Wins in the Terrible Twos

Step aside, superheroes — there’s a new kind of triumph in town! Navigating the twists and turns of toddlerhood is no small feat, and every victory, whether big or small, deserves its own celebration.

Welcome to the world of toddlerhood, a wild ride filled with laughter, tears, and monumental triumphs. Let’s celebrate the victories that come with the “terrible twos” — they’re not so terrible, after all!

Here’s my daughter Ava at 2 years old. Ready to start her curiosity and understanding herself day by day.

Understanding Toddler Development

As your child transitions from babyhood to toddlerhood, they undergo significant cognitive, emotional, and physical changes. Understanding these changes can help you appreciate their triumphs even more.

Celebrating the Big Wins

Language Explosion

When your toddler starts stringing words together into sentences, it’s a huge triumph! Celebrate this language explosion, and foster it by engaging in conversation with your child.

Potty Training Success

Ah, the joy of ditching diapers! This is a significant milestone for both you and your toddler.

Increased Independence

When your toddler starts doing things on their own, whether it’s feeding themselves or putting on their shoes, it’s a sign of growing independence.

Embracing the Small Victories

First Scribbles

What might seem like just a doodle is a major developmental win? It’s the first step toward writing!

Sharing Toys

This simple act signifies the start of understanding empathy and social interaction.

Cleaning Up

Yes, picking up toys, and helping with chores are small but mighty victories!

Every victory, big or small, in your toddler’s life, is a cause for celebration. They might be called the “terrible twos”, but this phase is filled with incredible growth and development. So, bring out the confetti and celebrate your toddler’s triumphs!

Being a mom is like being a superhero. And like any superhero, our journey is filled with extraordinary moments, daring challenges, and powerful transformations. As we celebrate Mother’s Day today, let’s take a moment to appreciate the journey we’ve been on, using the pillars of Avacher as our roadmap.

Pregnancy & Birth: Our journey began here, with two lines on a pregnancy test and a rush of emotions. From the first flutter in our bellies to the intense moment of birth, we discovered strength we never knew we had.

Baby’s First Year: Sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and that unforgettable first smile. This was a year of learning, growing, and falling in love over and over again with the tiny human we created.

Toddler Triumphs: Who knew a two-foot-tall human could have so much energy? Amidst the tantrums and the ‘no’ phase, we marveled at their developing personalities and their boundless curiosity.

Preschool Pioneers: We watched with bittersweet pride as they strutted into preschool, backpacks almost as big as them. We navigated the world of playdates, alphabet songs, and sticky craft projects, cherishing their blossoming independence.

Kid Chronicles: School projects, lost teeth, new friendships. As our children explored their world, we guided them, supported them, and perhaps even learned a thing or two from them.

Teen Talk: Ah, the teenage years. A whirlwind of emotions, growing pains, and heart-to-hearts. As we navigate this tricky territory, we’re reminded that even as our children grow, our role as their guide, their support, and their safe space remains as important as ever.

So here’s to you, Supermom. Here’s to the tears, the laughter, the sleepless nights, and the priceless moments. Here’s to the journey of motherhood, and here’s to celebrating each and every step of the way. Happy Mother’s Day!
