Dear little whirlwind,
As you navigate through these so-called “terrible twos,” I must admit, it’s been quite a ride—an eye-twitching adventure, really. Today, like most days, you’ve been hard at work testing the limits of my patience. Here are just a few of the memorable moments from our day together:
- Giving one of our cats an unexpected body slam (the one who prefers a little space).
- Carrying the other cat upside down (the one that used to enjoy being held).
- Watching only the first 15 minutes of every movie we start.
- Spitting in my face while attempting an “air raspberry.”
- Using the cat pooper scooper as your personal hairbrush.
- Throwing your entire bowl of Cheerios on the floor while yelling, “Eat, my kitties, eat!”
- Digging through the trash in search of what I can only assume is some form of mystical treasure.
- Screaming at the sun for being too bright, yet refusing to look away.
- Yelling because the sun “went gone” when it simply hid behind a tree.
- Unbuckling your car seat while we’re still driving.
- Crying over a dollop of ketchup on your plate—something you specifically asked for.
- Trying to flush four of your favorite toy cars down the toilet.
- Crying when you actually succeeded at that task.
- Telling me to go to sleep, but then preventing me from doing so.
- Typing up an “important” work email for me after I left my laptop unattended during a cat rescue mission.
- Asking, “Are you done?” repeatedly from outside the bathroom, followed by offering your “help.”
- Eating dirt off my shoes like it’s a delicacy.
- Emptying the fridge of its contents, especially the breakable items.
- Running around shouting “stinky poop” as you tear off your diaper (which, by the way, was indeed full of stinky poop).
- Trying to climb the curtains like they’re a jungle gym.
- Dumping out every single item from my dresser.
- Licking doorknobs in houses that aren’t even ours.
- Picking the cheese out of your macaroni and cheese, then tossing the rest on the floor.
- Asking for water every two minutes, only to cry because you wanted juice instead.
- Leaving a trail of Cheetos prints on our flat-screen TV.
- Screaming when I inform you I can’t buy you a dragon because I don’t know where the nearest dragon shelter is.
- Requesting kisses, then smacking my face because “that’s gross.”
- And, of course, all the hugs and chaos in between.
I adore you, but when the clock strikes 7:30, you’d better be on your best hiding game if you want to stay out of bed.
With love,
Your ever-exhausted mom ready for a break.
