10. Snuggle

The only time I get to snuggle for long periods of time with my daughter is when she’s sick, and I take advantage of them. There’s nothing like a toddler cuddle and I yearn for them even now when she still is a toddler. Your baby is growing up before your eyes and you will always want to remember how they fit across your chest and found comfort in your arms.

11. Take a Big Whiff After Bath Time

No matter how long ago your children were babies, you will always remember the smell of their shampoo and baby lotion. Smell is one of our strongest senses and it’s ability to evoke memories is very powerful. So take a long smell of your toddler’s sweet head, there’s nothing like baby bath time!

12. Tickle

There’s nothing like the sound of a laughing toddler, and what better way to hear it then to tickle? Physical touch is also a strong memory preserver and you will long look back on how ticklish your toddler was, and how simple it was to make them laugh.
