Sometimes no amount of written description can possibly do a parenting episode justice. It is in these instances that I like to create fancy parenting charts (like the "Babies on a Plane Pie Chart" and "The Fancy Undergarment Trajectory Chart").
It has recently come to my attention that these charts are actually called "infographics" and people make them other than myself. (THE NERVE!) I'm hoping none of these people mind if I steal a few and post them here (sourced, of course).
They're all about toddlers! How could I resist?
To keep things fair, I'll start with a new one of my own:

Which one do you relate to most?
And don't say "all of them".
That's MY ANSWER.
Um, I have to say ALL of the above.
Yours? Made me snort.
Ah Shorts, so timely. I was just trying to convince preschooler to give me back my iPad. I’m not winning, but I guess you already knew that.
Two Words. FOOD.PYRAMID. And my daughter is six. Her food pyramid would have these items:
Junk Food
Juice
Chicken Nuggets
Steak
Anything from a restaurant (even if I refuse it at home)
Oh the food pyramid…although ours is bread and pickles. Go figure!
Oh the food pyramid for sure. Ours consists of chicken nuggets (or dinosaur nuggets, those are allowed), and grilled cheese. I should be honest, she eats the occasional mac ‘n cheese and spaghetti if the mood strikes her. I’ve resorted to Pediasure to supplement.
J’Adore the Toddler brain one!
Holy cow. I laughed so hard I started crying! LOL. The first one is most definitely my daughter, except it’s grandma’s iPhone, not the iPad. Too funny!
Yours, replaced by “YouTube videos on any device” and Venn Diagram. During tantrums, how can be want me to hold him and not want me to hold him at the same time?
loved Inside a toddler’s brain – however; a much larger portion for the “whine region”!!!
Yours! My Roo is all iPad all the time. “My iPadie. MyiPadie. MYIPADIE!”
And the last one. “It” has been tormenting me for nearly seven years. I’ve yet to successfully identify “it” in fewer than three tantrums and a meltdown.
Food pyramid according to children pretty much sums up my life 🙂
Food pyramid for sure. Only instead of mac and cheese we have bacon.
Food pyramid! Except that he loves bananas instead of bread. I will serve him a bowl of cereal and sliced bananas, and he will pick out all the banana pieces and leave the soggy cereal behind.
Personally I prefer yours, even though my boys are kinda out of toddlerhood. The food one, though? Dead on. I’d need a section for pancakes.
I love the iPad one the best!!! Lol

I saw the “Inside a Toddler’s Brain” one on Pinterest and just about died laughing. I especially loved the Hyperthalamus and the Ptooey Gland. Repin! Repin!
That last graphic has been my house pretty much every day for the past year or so, okay fine, past 5 years… ::sigh::
For my oldest it’s the food pyramid minus the bread. Mac n’ cheese, no pepper, only with a spoon. For my youngest it’s also the food pyramid with only paper? I don’t know for the longest time the doctor told me she can’t have hot dogs but paper is ok WTF? apparently she doesn’t know that my daughter can consume a hardback in less than 10 minutes, that is NOT OK!
Our entire household found this hysterical. Considering we have two toddlers in our house at this time, we are very familiar with these. Especially the toddler brain!
oh i like it very much this post
My children like my grown-up toys even though our house is cluttered with all of their toys. Go figure

Love the Toddler Toy Chart! After watching my nephew, I’ve decided not to register for any toys with this pregnancy. I just need to go to garage sales and look for old TV remotes…
