How your toddler is growing: By now your child will begin to set goals for himself. He'll have particular ideas about what he wants to get done — like riding his tricycle down the path or fitting all the pieces of a puzzle together. He'll also care about the results — you'll see he's pleased when he's successful and frustrated when he's not. It's all part of his burgeoning independence.
How your life is changing: You'll want to think about switching your toddler to a big bed before he's able to climb out of the crib on his own. When you make the transition, it'll be rocky for a little while — you might find him popping out of bed just after you leave the room or making nocturnal visits to your bed. But give him time, and he'll settle in to his new sleep arrangements.
Parent Tip: Make a collage"I find that a great way to spice up an afternoon is to set my son up with a couple magazines, safety scissors, and a glue stick — and watch him go." — Susan Webb
