I always thought the year would be independent, falling asleep on its own, understanding everything without screaming or being capricious, not begging for hugs, as I was wrong ? Especially when my niece turned two, it seemed like she was six months old, you know, the same tantrums, maybe she understands but doesn't want to, so she begs for hugs, screams, can't dress herself, wears diapers, keeps muttering something, you know, if I had imagined the year differently, two years would have been wow ? My child is very capricious, something isn't right, they didn't give him something, they took it away, he just lays down and cries, turns his head back, says nothing, doesn't answer
