The years are short, but the days are long… It’s so true. While there are days that may feel like a never-ending struggle with a toddler, the toddler years will fly by and be a distant memory before you know it. Then you’re knee deep in school and homework and activities. Add in a “fun sport” and you’ll never have a free moment.

Who needs a birthday to have an excuse to celebrate? Not me!
