The other day she was hiding under my mother’s shirt while it was physically on her body. My mom was acting like she didn’t know where she was. “Where is Toots?” “Has anyone seen Toots?” All of a sudden from under her shirt, you hear Toots yell, “Grandma, I am up stairs”.
I had Target bags full of toiletries that I had just bought. It was really quiet and I decided to go see what my loving 2 year old was up to. She had put it all away. In the right places. Places that she can’t reach without moving furniture. She is 2. I knew I had her for a reason.
Toots demanded her nightly sippy of milk to take to her room. She was holding on to it for dear life when she turned to me with the devils look and yelled “mommy, get me my milk”. I started to look around when I noticed it in her little grubby paws. I said “look at your hands”. She looks down and said “good thing” and rolls her eyes.
I am raising a mini me, the me before I became AWARE of being an ass! Good Lord am I in trouble.
With that look you're definitely in trouble. Honestly when our kids bother us it's usually a place where we are lacking like boundaries. You'll be a better person for learning what you need and let me tell you it'll save your sanity when she gets older since it only gets harder.
ReplyDelete"Good thing"? Yeah, you ARE in trouble! :) but it will be fun trouble!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stinker! But so precious too. And I can't believe she put away all your toiletries like that. That'll come in handy if she keeps it up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little pucker face! My smoochie used to never go to bed without his Ovaltine in a sippy. For years. I breastfed him for a long time, I think he needed to suckle.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my kiddo does something bad, but I can't contain my laughter. She and my kiddo would get along great! Did you get her potty trained btw? I finally did it!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with her putting everything away. At my age, I still don't put things away!
ReplyDeleteAn itty, bitty note of concern (with good intentions!) about the sippy cup with milk. I work for a pediatric dentist and this is one of our big no nos. Has Toots been to the dentist yet? We see a lot of 2 years old with mouths full of decay and recommend the 1st dental visit by age 1.

Bwahahahaha! Wow girl, this cracked me up. You are TOTALLY in trouble.
ReplyDeleteMy 8 year old and I are having fun with the 'tude we see in my 5 year old sometimes. She cracks us both up.
Like the other day when the 8 yr old and I were in my bathroom and my 5 yr old was in their bedroom. The little one sneezed but her sister and I didn't stop our conversation. Then we heard her say, "Hello?! Can I get a 'Bless you' from someone?!"
LOL! Kids are so dang funny.
boy thats just he best isnt it?? fun with the kids!
ReplyDeletePutting away your stuff at two? In the right places? Damn that girl is going to be a GOLD MINE!!!
ReplyDeleteIt gets so much better...you're going to have so much fun with her (ya know, when you're not feeling like jumping out a window).
I don't know what I would do if I had a child with an attitude like mine. I would probably want to jump out the window !
ReplyDeletewhat a cutie pie! yes, its the moments taht are so cute that saves their little hides!!:)
ReplyDeleteI'd so be wrapped around her fingers.... she'd lead me by my nose ring....
ReplyDeleteHey , my daughter and grandson live with me right now and i can sympathize . Here's the thing no matter what anybody is telling you this is just a phase that will pass in a little bit . So don't sweat it it'll pass soon . I went through it with my daughter who is now 20 and now my grandson who is 18 months old . One of these days you'll want this back your gonna look back and wonder where all the time went I do .
ReplyDeleteThat is SO funny! Yes, girl. You are in mucho trouble. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh and she is just adorable...
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was little his Granny told me he is going to break your heart..I didn't believe her (this perfect boy surly not...flash forward..The first girlfriend...My heart in to knots " please no kissing yet your only 14 yrs. old" No nothing yet...I get out the medical Dictionary and remind him what certain STD look like...Oh Golly I don't think I'll make for the next 4 years of high school...
That's hilarious she hid under your mom's skirt, and still said "I'm upstairs!" I did shit like that when I was a toddler. Ah, the memories of being a kid.
ReplyDeleteIt does make you laugh at the self-analysis and comparison, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteSecretia
Hehehe, your girl and my girl should get together and go bowling.
ReplyDelete;)
I heard my 9-yr-old tell her older sister this a.m., "what part of 'deal with it' do you not understand?" It was all I could do not to bust up!!
