| How many times can you tell a 2 year old? |
So today my thoughts are random things that I wonder how many times it takes before it locks into a 2 year old's mind and is it just me or is he messing with me?
- How many times can you tell a 2 year old that if you throw the plastic Easter Eggs against the wall or other hard objects, they're going to break open and Mommy can't drop everything at 2 minute intervals to pop them back together.
- How many times do you have to tell a 2 year old that a PB&J is the same if it's open faced or if it's with 2 slices like a regular sandwich, and that just because you can't see all the PB&J doesn't mean it's "icky".
- Telling Mommy to "quit being bossy" isn't nice, especially if she's just standing there washing dishes or folding towels. In the same turn, it doesn't mean that she's a huge meanie when she tells you to quite being bossy and you get offended and cry like she's horse whipped you.
- Sidewalk chalk is not for the screen door, tile in the entry way, kitchen floor, kitchen cabinets, or clothes. It does wash off, but we don't have time to clean like that.
- We don't put water outside the bathtub. PERIOD!
- Please don't put toys in your daddy's boots. He doesn't check them before he sticks his feet into them at 6 a.m. to leave for work. Trains and Wonder Pets can be scary at 6 a.m. in the morning.
- Even if you use profanity correctly, it doesn't mean it's not a bad word. I'm sorry Cars went off, but we don't need to say "Oh damn it" to express our anger.
- If Daddy is doing something Mommy told you not to do, don't get hostile in correcting him. Daddy doesn't like being hit in the pee pee in the middle of Walmart because you were told not to touch the trash cans and he had to throw away something.
- Cameras don't bounce.
- Just because you say cheese 10 times doesn't mean the camera will take a picture either.
- Band aids are really cool, but we don't need one everytime you get a bruise or pinch your finger or smack yourself with a toy. I say this only after I witnessed you smacking yourself with a toy and pinching your own arm to get said band-aid.
- The world will not end if you can't wear your light up Thomas and Friends sneakers for one trip down the street to the post office.
- Mommy would appreciate it if you could try to eat something other than chicken nuggets, chicken fingers, chicken fries, chicken strips, PB&J's, fruits, pickles, fruit snacks, string cheese, pizza, waffles, french toast, pancakes. There are other food groups. While I appreciate that atleast they're healthy foods and that you think that granola bars are candy bars, I wish you'd broaden your horizons a bit.
