Momboss Journey - Toddler time

Tallulah will officially be 4 years old on March 26th and goodness does time fly quickly, I seriously didn’t think it’d be this fast. I’m holding so tight to her little self before she grows into a tween!

I’ll also be 42 years old this coming weekend and as I come into this journey of my 40’s I have a BIG appreciation for time. We can never get back time, so each moment is truly a gift even if it may be a shitty moment!

Tallulah has now been in preschool for under a year, even during this pandemic, and she’s grown incredibly. I’ve learned to let go and ease up on my own structure around time. With set scheduled days of when I can work in my studio I structure my ‘off’ days with Tallulah around playing outside, reading tarot cards or painting. Lots and lots of painting!

What surprises me about watching Tallulah grow is how much I am reflecting on my own youth, what I remember and how it must’ve been for my mother, raising me. Parenthood teaches us so much about ourselves and who we are.

New Lessons during the toddler years:

• Acknowledging emotions and allowing them to be felt. When my daughter is frustrated or angry I try to remember to pause and see what it is. Pausing is HUGE for both of us.

• Water or going outside cures just about any tantrum. I never realized that until I read it on a moms FB group. The best advice EVER.

• I allow my daughter to paint nearly anything within reason. What can I say, it gives her the best satisfaction to paint rocks.

I can tell you that raising a toddler has given me a whole new set of ways to communicate with an authoritative little person, and these tips can honestly help anyone get thru life.
