The Terrible Twos








Right now as Thomas is going through his "terrible twos" I want to jot down a couple of thoughts that must go through his "terrible two" year old mind.

1. I don't understand why people sit on the commode and that is it. They need to think outside the bowl because it a perfect place for fun. It can be your own swimming pool, you can do science experiments (does the truck sing or float, how much toilet paper and mommy's make up can fit in there.), and when you are little and mommy takes away all of the step stools it is a great place to wash your hands. Now if I can figure out the little silver handle, and how to make the water spin it would be great.








2. I don't need any stinky step stools or chair. A drum, transformer mask, pillow, or canned food. Anything that makes me taller works. I prefer a step stool though

















3. I Love Chocolate, I also like it when it is just in my reach. By the way, you can overdose on chocolate milk mix. If you eat over a 1/2 of a big canister of it and your stomach starts swelling and you either vomit or have diarrhea. The nurses exchange recommends for you to go to the emergency room immediately.




3. Why look for a toy one by one. It is more efficient to dump whatever you have on the floor. Then, you might find something you are not even looking for...



4. If you wake up and it is dark, the best place to go is the middle of mommy and daddy's bed They love it when you sleep sideways. Mom loves it when you kick her in the neck over and over so she knows that you are there.

5. When mommy is in a hurry or needs to change my diaper the best thing to do is to run and hide. She loves that game. The best place to hide is under the table or under a bed, especially when she is nine months pregnant. If you realize you don't have time to hide, just cover your face. The rule is if you can't see them they can't see you.

6. There is no use in running in the grocery store because then you don't have a chance of maybe getting a treat. The best time to run is in the parking lot when mommy has a cart full of grocery and Guy is all tucked into his seat. Warning: You will probably get a pretty good spanking all the way to the car once she catches you.




7. Parents love it when you headbutt them. Especially when they are not expecting it.


8. Biting is so old School. The new thing is to lick. You can lick anything shoes, books, your brother's feet, the slide, water hose, public water fountains.

I am enjoying this age. He is a bundle of energy. He can be a handful, but it is so neat to see breakthroughs. He is starting to understand consequences for his actions. He is becoming a great kid. His vocabulary is expanding rapidly, and more and more of a calmer demeanor and understanding of feelings is coming around. He is a sweet kid, but he can be a handful!

That was THE funniest thing ever!

Unfortunately, it's so funny because it's so true. LOL!

The licking thing was hysterical! April did/does the same thing.
