Sometimes makes you want to cry but others it makes you wonder what lies ahead on our long road of growing so stay tuned for more adventures and stories of the wonderful little guy as he goes from two to trifle threes.

Although i am really not a good aim it counted now i have to decide that it is for me all the time but I do have Elmo undies to wear so maybe i will try but then again I might change my mind.

Episode 41 Interesting things

It has been a while since i have updated you on the Great toddler so I thought we would drop in with some news. The thing that the great toddler (Ben) has been interested in the most as of lately is yes you guessed the potty. Although he is curious it still does not outweigh the I'm scared tactic but it is ever so casually sneaking in on us and he will soon be ready for the potty training he has now acquired Elmo undies and is quite fascinated by the big potty as long as the lid is down he does not care for his special chair at all but is quite happy to find a corner of the house disrobe and go so we still have a ways to go it seems so until next time....

So being grumpy is not how it is supposed to be!

Well I thought that being grumpy was because he was sick but boy was I wrong. We spent the better part of the evening trying to stay calm and not scream. Not to mention that today Ben's little temper hit the high note when he hauled off and smacked my mouth pretty hard. That's it hold your breath count to ten and walk away after of course you give him a time out. Not that he understands all that much but hey you got to start somewhere right. After time out well lets just say it did not work cause shoes went across the room, toys and whatever else the little man could throw, wing, or fling. Temper is got a new name and it is Ben.

The Great Toddler Adventures and my new favorite song

It is a known fact that I will just about dance and sing to anything but this week I have chosen not one but two favorite songs. The first one being the song that comes on when two and a half men come on you know the one men, men, manly men men woo who! I love it i will stop what i am doing and sit or lay down in the middle of the floor and watch it till it is over. As soon as it is finished i get up and run around it is just a great song what can i say.

JUST A SWINGIN.....LOL

The Great Toddler Adventures in Achoo!!!!

Achoo!!! oh what was that i don't know what that was but i don't like it one bit. That's it i am gonna cry there is something coming out of my nose and that hurt. Wahhhhha, wahhhha.
How do you explain to someone who is less then 2 that he is sick and that is a sneeze and it does not matter how often it happens he has decided to melt down after each and every sneeze i guess you have to say thank you to mother nature for the hay fever season and all of the allergies provided because between the runny nose, the sneezing and the watery eyes it makes you want to cry for them. I am sure it will be better in a day or two but its not easy for him to be patient.

The great toddler in picky, picky

No , No , NO he shouts I will just throw it on the floor and make momo pull out her hair i don't want mac n cheese i don't want ravioli, I don't want anything meat whats that you say carrots with dip maybe okay.. I can not have the same thing two times in the week i can not have anything like leftovers yuck what will you do momo....

The Great Toddler Adventures in Frustration Complications

It has been the beginning of the terrible twos or so I thought all signs point that way but i had an idea yesterday(light bulb). What Ben used to do when he was frustrated against my better judgement, and despite all my protest. This gesture has been made into something funny he used to push his hands together it was like he had to magnets fighting each other they would not go together and he held his breath i did not like it but it was a better alternative to now. Dad decided to make it funny no matter how many times i said please don't.. What do we get in return? Well we get a very frustrated toddler who now when he can't get his point across now beats his head off anything no matter how hard it is in sight he is gonna knock himself unconscious. What would you do in these shoes.

Episode 18 Its all about Spring Fever

To start this off with saying to my sister and the glorious aunt Mimi that no harm was intended before with the last post only great appreciation for the fact that she has this stuff when it is needed.

It starts with a nice day and a certain Lil boy who really likes to go outside you see after being couped up all winter long outside is that splendid place that all Lil boys dream of. The sun beating down on you in the warm weather that is just so perfect that playing outside is the best time of the day. from slime and snails to puppy dog tails a Lil boy with out the outside is lost. He loves going outside so much that if you leave to go to the store and he does not go with you he screams and cries...stomps his feat in a huge temper tantrum and it is like he has been beat. To top it all off if you come in from outside rather it has gotten dark or cool or the dreaded nap monster has struck it is even a bigger temper tantrum as if you thought it could get any worse soon the grass will be drier and the park will beckon to us on a daily basis till then.....

So what would any great mom do I go running and calling my sister where oh where do you get one of those things that keeps them in and she kindly replies " my basement of course".

What will be the next great trick well one will never know what goes on in the mind of a great toddler. Until next time.......

Episode 16 Mine mine mine

A common phrase that as all of the sudden became a common phrase in out house MINE it is a horrible word but unfortunately a part of a toddlers life and it seems a big part of my toddler. This phrase has become the favorite of his he uses it to label everything from his cup with Elmo on it to his favorite blue blanket that is so lovingly called his blank. He says with authority Mine mine blue blank his first full and clear sentence. I am so proud even though it is very selfish phrase how can you not be proud of that imagine what it is gonna be like when the doc ask does he put words together yet? I will do my best to refrain from laughing. New words are being added day by day and it is getting so that you can actually understand some of them my favorite is thank..you and he pauses just right in there to get it two syllables. It makes you wonder what it will be that he will say next or what he will do next.

Episode 15 The Great Toddler adventures!

from shy to honery to just plain mean they seem to go through many moods and changes.

The Great Toddler Adventures Episode 5

Some time has elapsed since i last wrote not much but some. The great toddler has been sick as some of you know but here we are on Thursday and although he is not trowing up he is still got diarrhea and it is like water still even pedialyte makes it happen and that is supposed to constipate you. He is feeling better today but that is subject to change cause as some of you know he goes from being full of vinegar to being sleepy and calm wow it goes so fast unable to eat without pooping he is not eating much and starving too there seems to be no happy medium. There is one constant i can count on and that my friends is Elmo or veggie tales when they are on he is glued to the television and I mean glued he won't watch it unless they are on and sometimes when i need the break which by way of saying is around 10: 40 every morning cause that is when Elmo is on ha ha.....about the only other thing he likes that much is music the boy will dance dance dance it is pretty funny will work on a video of that for you all until next time...... I leave you with this one thought although unusual it is i feel like being silly today if you shoot a mime do you need a silencer?

The Great Toddler Adventures!!!

The Day began as normal as the next He awoke around the same time, he hollered to get out of the defying crib that held him captive. Mom, Mom, Mom that is what I heard still in my room for lack of no space for his own room. He grabs his blankie and is ready to go there is no way he is leaving without it. I still groggy for Little sleep awaken from my slumber get him tell him "good morning bright eyes are you ready to get up." HE gets excited as we exit the room and I of course have to stop by the Bathroom. Still groggy as he sets in the hall with the door open so I can see him and no that he is not getting in to trouble he comes in the bathroom and grabs for the brush to make him pretty. What I don't know and have not yet realize is that sitting there on the sink someone in my loving household has left a glass, glass on the counter next to the sink empty of course but this does not stop him from pulling it down and busting it all over the floor I say in a loud voice" Stop get back" I am more afraid of him getting hurt. He does not know this thinks he is in trouble and I am mad starts to cry I assure him it is alright accidents happen mommy just does not want you to get hurt so stay there. He is still scared and lays down in the hall and holds on to his blankie so tight thumb in his mouth worried ever so worried. I pick him up and love him tell him lets go get some milk and put him in his high chair with milk choc milk the only way he will drink his new milk lactaid. He is allergic to the real stuff poor guy has had problems with it since birth special formula the kind that cost 35 dollars a can thank God for WIC.

Elmo is done and the letter and number are recapped for the day we repeat them together. Next Barney and yes it is annoying as ever but he likes the intro he dances to it everyday and then we play today it was hide the shoes and peek a boo on our head that has been the game of choice for the last three days or so. and then we get dressed after we change our pants dirty today makes you wander what he had that ate to make it that bad.
