Conversation? What conversation?

If you have or had a 1.5 year old, I know you can relate!

Picture yourself at an event, a park, any gathering... the days of sitting around and chatting are long gone! Sitting in that chair to rest and relax? Also long gone, I can promise you'll be active and on your feet! These toddlers are off and ready to explore and they will not stop. 

You do feel bad, though. Family you haven't seen in a while, or even ones you see all the time. It is impossible to get a conversation in. And those who are unaware of your toddler situation are hopefully understanding. So many times throughout the very beginning of spring/summer already I feel like I'm being totally rude - when in reality I a) don't have the mental capacity because I have about 50 things on my mind and b) I am paying attention to a toddler who is dangerous and running everywhere to get into everything they can... and if you look away for .2 seconds they're already gone (ok slight exaggeration).

I would just like to apologize for all those I've made to feel like I've ignored or payed half attention to already and all the ones I know will happen in the future. I wouldn't trade this stage for the world - it is so fun to watch her explore and push her limits. I hope you understand. 🫶🏽
