Everyone tells you about the "terrible 2s" but what are some positive things I can look forward to?

My little guy is 17 months. I've already been warned about the terrible twos. 🥲 But I haven't been told about any positive things that happen around age 2. I know all children are different from one another.. But I was wondering what things I can possibly look forward to? (Maybe milestones?) What did your toddler start doing around the time they turned 2?

I'd love to hear about them❤️
