I sent our 20 month old off to daycare this week and felt so much of this in that, too. Thank you for writing! I’ll turn back to it when we’re ready to potty train!

I absolutely recognised myself in this esp the first point of it being us as parents who aren’t ready sometimes. I wrote something about it calling it the last hurdle of babyhood, and there is something about finishing nappies that is the first big step to independence. It’s such a weirdly heartbreaking time in that sense, but it’s an important milestone. You got this 💪🏼💪🏼

I love that! The last hurdle of babyhood. You are so spot on with that. Thank you for reading!
