The Life and Times of a 2 year old toddler

The 2-year-old toddler is a running, curious creature. Imagine the one thing that you don’t want him to do, go into or pick up and that’s exactly what they’ll do. It’s like the Star Wars Jedi training orb, but instead of shooting lasers they’ll misplace dad’s car keys, cell phone or the remote control.
