Terrible Twos

Dear two year old daughter
Oh boy, time really flies
Two years of pure happiness
You brought into our lives

You are going through your “terrible twos”
There is really such a thing
Though it drives me a little crazy
It does not compare to the happiness you bring

You are suddenly all over the place 
Testing all limits, is what you do
And you are now living proof
Of a childhood phase called "terrible twos" 

Then out of the blue you’ll say “mama you are so pretty”
And when I ask “do you love me” you say “yes”
My heart completely bounce with joy
And I truly do feel blessed

You remain moms’ sunshine
My cuddle little person
I feel so much happiness
And you are my little reason

Little two year old daughter
The greatest gift by far
"Terrible twos" and all
I love you just the way you are

Hi Caren... Thank you for your comment and taking the time to read my work. I love how you say that the terrible twos and the adorable twos go hand in hand. Perfect way of expressing it...Thing is they grow up so quick and before we know it we will miss them running around and being up to no good :) Keep well. Love B

Hey Jan. Lovely to hear from you... Thank you for the comment. Yip terrible twos is definitely a thing :) luckily she is not only terrible twos at this stage. It is a combo of terrible twos and absolutely adorable, but one is not used to the terrible two side :))) Glad your son is with you guys. One prefer to have fam closeby during this time.Keep well and keep safe... Lots of Love xx
