Lil Princess

We hear a lot about babies and littles, but what about the toddlers?

The ones who:

are perfectly capable of talking but choose to whine and throw a fit instead.

can use the potty, but still like to wear diapers sometimes.

sometimes want big kid clothes and sometimes want onesies.

can technically sit up by themselves, but why do that when you can be held in someone’s lap?!

think that walking is just too hard and inconvenient compared to being carried.

prefer to be fed rather than feed themselves.

eat their food in little bite-sized pieces.

use sippy cups and bottles because why not?

exclaim “I’m big! I can do it myself!” about some things and cry for help with other things.

sometimes want to learn all the things and sometimes think ignorance is bliss.

can be an annoying little menace or the perfect sweet child.

can be a baby one minute and a big kid the next.

A little funny

If I were a rose

many of the “tells” of lying are traits commonly found in abuse survivors and mentally ill/disabled people.

stuttering, averting eye contact, panicking, raising your volume, fidgeting, and other similar traits are actions performed commonly by these groups, especially in situations of heavy stress- such as being accused of doing something we didnt do, especially if we are afraid of being punished for doing nothing.

Me: *holding Stardust, realizing that he's right and staring horrified at all my stuffies*
