Lessons from my 2 year old:

1. Always wake up in a good mood. It sets the tone for the rest of your day. 

2. Give hugs whenever you can. It makes the other person feel so much better. 

3. Get excited about anything new. It opens up your whole world to new possibilities. 

4. Throw a tantrum and then get over it. It's probably not worth it anyway. 

5. Go to bed early. 

6. Take naps. You wake up in a much better mood. 

7. Dance in the car. It makes for a really fun ride to where ever you're going. 

8. Just dance. Whenever. Wherever. 

9. Laugh at the silliest thing. Over and over again. Laughing never really gets old anyway. 

10. Learn a new word every week. Surprise your friends with your new vocabulary. 

11. Find something you are passionate about and stick to it. Make it your new routine. 

12. Say no. And don't feel guilty about it. 

13. Cuddle in bed. 

14. Make new friends where ever you go. It's amazing what just saying "hi" can do. 

15. Love. Unconditionally.

Love you J-
