Some people call these years the terrible twos. Yes, there are challenges. The temper tantrums, the coloring on the wall, the time outs. Yet, this is such an amazing time period as toddlers are in the liminal state between babyhood and childhood. As much as they still need the comforting supervision of Mama and Daddy, they desperately want to learn how to do things themselves.

I love watching my little one take his first steps toward independence knowing that Mama and Daddy will always be his safe haven.
We let Gabe "brush" for a bit on his own, then we finish. He likes the taste of the Little Bear toothpaste. I think that is the big incentive honestly.
