2 years already?

My baby's not a baby anymore. Isn't the 2nd birthday the universal transition from infancy to toddlerhood? I wasn't ready for it. But it happened anyway. We are managing so far. But we have our moments. Like yesterday, for example, when my "toddler" insisted on walking out to the car when I picked her up at the sitters. But she wanted to walk in the opposite direction of our car. So after offering her a choice of a) walk towards the car or b) momma carries you to the car, she chose c) throw a screaming/kicking fit all the way to the car! If there was an option "d" I didn't see it at that moment. I am open to suggestions!
