Living with a two year old is a whole new experience for me. I have some much younger siblings who were toddlers after I was an adult so my experience with actually living with one is quite limited. By the time my brother was my son’s age, I was married and out of college! I still cannot believe the things that fly out of my mouth some days! Every day is a hoot when you are questioning a crazy 31 month old’s behavior.
I started ticking off the silly inquiries I had over the past week:
- Why is there poop on the radiator?
- Why is there a knife in the toilet?
- Where did you hide the potty chair?
- What on earth is in your mouth?
- What on earth did you put in your sisters mouth?
- Why are you crying again?
- Why did you eat that?
- Why did you put your finger in there?
- Is that a booger?
- What is that puddle?
Why was poop on the radiator? I never did find out. The knife in the toilet is actually the least inconvenient thing he has thrown into the toilet. The potty chair doubles as a hat and occasionally a snack dish, despite my protests. What is in everyone’s mouths? Usually paper, particularly pages of my favorite books. Why the crying? Probably because I took away one through five. Eat what? EVERYTHING. Finger where? Usually in a diaper or nostril first, then immediately into my water glass or lunch. Yes, it most definitely is a booger. And that puddle? Most of the time it is pee, but if I am lucky, it is barf.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
LOL sounds like a normal day in our house!
This past week I’ve had to:
-explain to my 3 year old (MANY times) that the # of poopies he makes does not = the number of wipes he needs to use to get clean.
-ask both my boys to PLEASE stop touching the dog’s behind
-explain that milk in a sippy cup cannot be sprinkled over toys, even if you are pretending it’s pepper for your food
-tell them that the heat vents are NOT appropriate places for toys. The laundry basket, dryer, couch cushions, and kitchen cabinets are not appropriate places either. Come to think of it, we just don’t need to hide toys, okay?
I loved this post, thanks 🙂
We have the rain shower sippies here too. It drives me nuts! Haha.
