Raising children is not as easy as some parents make it seem. Toddlers run at full speed from waking up until they drop from exhaustion. When bedtime rolls around, many parents split the responsibility by taking turns. When her husband goes up to put the toddler to sleep and doesn’t return, Mom gets curious and becomes a search party of one.

Many parents have a wind-down ritual after they put a toddler to sleep. It is their time to discuss the day, cuddle, and relax together. It is an integral part of the day. When her husband never returned from the toddler’s room, she went up to investigate. If you didn’t laugh at what she discovered, you probably need a nap because it was hilarious!
Yep, that’s her husband, fast asleep. It looks like their wily little toddler put Daddy to sleep! To add insult to injury, she is using him as a Jungle Gym, and he is not stirring. The lullaby plays quietly in the background, and the toddler is singing along and ready for another round.
After raising my child, I watched this video with a nod of understanding. Most parents have been there and done that (BTDT) and were too exhausted to write home about it. Imagine if we could bottle the energy of a toddler as they did in Disney’s Monsters, Inc. Monster energy drinks, Red Bulls, and highly caffeinated beverages would no longer be necessary. We might not even need that morning pot of coffee to start our days! Ah, the dream of an energy-filled existence reminiscent of our childhoods. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
Please share this with expectant parents and toddler parents that you know. They will appreciate it.
