That's right... I said that my child acts like a cat.
In fact, she's even taken up playing with a ball of yarn... no lie. But it's not just this one little cliche thing. Check out some of these quotes and replace "cat" with "toddler."
Cat Quotes
See what I mean? Now, I know that all kids are different and there are adults that act like cats, too, but the transformation for my own little one was so stark... it took me a bit by surprise. The line between "I really need you to hold me right now" and "Um, excuse me I'm kind of busy and can't hang out with you right now... could you please stop looking at me... I'm trying to do something here" can be crossed in a milisecond and without any warning. If you persist, there could be consequences. Don't start paying attention to someone else... the toddler must have you to themselves. If you're hanging out reading a book, they REALLY need you to do something right now. If you want to cuddle... "um, sorry... I'm kinda of busy right now."
With a toddler, you never know what to expect. Just like with cats. I kind of love it.
