0:00.0	Hey everybody and welcome to this episode of No One Told Us.
0:07.5	I'm your host, Rachel, and today it's just you and me.
0:10.1	We're going to be talking all about toddler, sleep, struggles, and bedtime battles and nap stuff
0:16.5	and all the things that come up when your baby is not a baby anymore, but things are still a little bit
