My thoughts on toddlers. This is not the "terrible twos." This stage should be called the "talking twos."
JMS was casually riding along in the backseat as we drove through town. When, I gawked, "holy cow!" And, he said, "holy cow mommie, holy cow!"
I was looking through photos on the blogs...and he climbed into my lap and said, "baby mommie?" "Yes, we are looking at Baby Harper and Baby Zoe." He said, "baby mommie?" I said yes, "where do babies come from?" He said, "store mommie."
I'm watching him eat dinner and I said, "JMS eat one chicken nugget." He said, "two." I said, "three." He said, "four." I said, "five." And we continued alternating all the way to NINE. Is that possible? Are two year olds supposed to be able to count?
So...I digress. Kim has me "one-upped." (unfortunately) JMS is no closer to potty training. Last night I had him taking a bath, and I asked, "do you have to go potty?" (after I heard some grunting) "No mommie, no potty." And, when I look again, he is holding out for me...."ew mommie." Yes, you imagined correctly.
Love the twos!

I know a lot of people think of two's as "terrible" but I must say I do miss my kids at that age! They were so curious and loving. Now I have a teenager and a 10 year old. How did that happen? Enjoy every minute of it...it goes way too fast! P.S. That was a lovely surprise you got. I'm sure it won't be the last!
oh that is SO gross!!! Did you know that Elmo has a potty time video. You could even get an employee discount on it cuz that's where I got mine. It's a pretty funny video. Joshua gets a treat when he goes on the potty - he's more willing to try since he knows (and will tell me) that there's a "big twizzer" at stake. He also likes to sit on the potty and tear off tiny pieces of TP and pretend to blow his nose. Over and over and over again. I also give Joshua as many M&Ms (the little baking ones) as he can count correctly after he finishes lunch or dinner. That keeps him motivated.
