ONly 18 months old, but have the terrible twos begun?
If he doesn't get his way he yells and cries. Refuses to sit in his high chair. Fussy and whiny. Trying my patience!!!
No, I will not let you throw the iPod on the floor. No, I will not let you run with a chopstick in your mouth. No, you can't play with scissors. No. No. No. No.
I don't think our house is that dangerous, I think he has a knack for finding danger. And really, it is an apartment. There are only so many places to keep things that are more than 4 feet off the ground. And he can open doors now...
Did I mention that he escaped from childcare in Taichung? They have babysitting at our professional learning meetings there so the spouses can participate in some activities, and when I went to get Guinness for lunch the lady said, 'Well he was here a minute ago but when we opened the door to let someone in he must have run out because he isn't here now.' Ummm, great. So typical.
(I wasn't really worried because I knew a lot of people we knew were milling about and that he was probably out playing. Also, it was an enclosed campus area, not like he escaped into a mall or a road. Just a bunch of teachers having lunch. I felt bad because I knew the worker searching for him probably felt terrible!)
Redeeming moments: How he says, 'Bye Steve!' to Blues CLues, and asks for 'George?' (as in Curious). He sits and reads books to himself, and loves pirates. (Arrrr!) He slept with his two big plastic dinosaurs the night before last. (ta de kong long). And he started saying 'bonk' when he bumps something, or 'broken' when, well, when something is broken.
We need to get pictures done soon.

I know, you are going to groan, another Guinness comparison to his Dad. When his Dad was just two he escaped from the dressing room in Sears at the Midtown Mall. Upon searching in Sears, I went down the mall. Found out he had taken gum at the drug store. My fear was that he went down into the parking level but no he was found and escorted back from Eaton's (then) from the other end of the mall. We paid for the gum and went home. Even in Canada, his blonde hair made it easy to describe and locate him. There Guinness is even more noticeable.
ReplyDeleteAbram, too. It's like his will just got turned on like a switch. Suddenly it's tantrums and "I do" and "all by myself" and lots of screaming and fighting. Sigh. I thought I had a few more months...
