Living with a two year old
In all my twenty-seven years I never could have imagined what it would be like to live with a two year old. When I first found out I was going to be having a son I was overwhelmed, excited, terrified, so many emotions I didn't quite know what to do with them all. When the day finally came I don't think I believed it was actually happening until the nurse let me hold him for the first time. When we brought him home he was so small and helpless. He needed another human being for every one of his needs and there were alot! As the months went on and he kept growing time seemed to fly by. First he was holding up his head on his own, then he was crawling. On his first birthday he took his first few steps. I was so proud and amazed that he was growing so quickly. Last month he celebrated his second birthday. At two years old he can walk, talk, and play. Or should I say run, make demands, and destroy as much as possible twenty four hours a day seven days a week. When he's in the bath the water has to be splashed on the floor, when I am trying to acomplish any task he is always in the way. Even now while I'm trying to type this blog he is trying to press the keys! But I know that he is two years old and is trying his best to learn and grow. When he is a teenager and wants nothing to do with me I will probably miss this crazy two year old. He is my son and I love him.

This is very true. I now 28, have a 3 year old girl (who is going on 30) and a 15 month old boy. I have a very crazy household. When the boy wants/has a toy, the girl wants or has to have the same toy. There is already sibling rivelrey going on. She pushes him, he pulls her hair. He hits her, she pushes or hits him. This is a VERY CRAZY household. I LOVE BOTH MY KIDS VERY MUCH though. It is a wonderful thing. My wife and I still sometimes wish our 3 yr old was little, she is growing up so fast. She started HEAD START this year. She even gets picked up on a bus and brought home (well, to daycare) on the bus. She is growing up too fast. The little boy, he is in daycare all day. He is sooooo good. He tries to keep up with "sissy" all the time. He runs around with her, plays tag, hide & seek, tries to share with her, and much much more. Have fun with him. Enjoy the time while he is little. The time WILL FLY BY now that he is two.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I miss the two year old stage. My children are 26 yrs and 15 yrs. and when my son was 2yrs. I was in my 20s and I was an up tight first time Mom worrying about everything, which now being an older Mom and yes I just said OLDER I don't sweat the small stuff and it's pretty much all small stuff. But teenagers are from another world. ha!ha! But this to shall past. One little tip teach them the love of reading that has made the world an easier place to live in for my two. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI have an 18 month old daughter who is my world and I love everything about her. However she is trying to press all the keys as I type this as your son was ha ha. She is very good at getting into everything she is not supposed to and she finds every electonic item in the the house and drools and chews on it until it no longer works which has become very aggrivating lately. She makes it so hard to get any kind of school work done I can not count the times I have not had an assignment done because of her. Just one of the set backs of being a single parent I guess, no one is here to help watch her while get something done. I knew it would be difficult when I decided to go back to school to better our lives and raise a child at the same time but I think I under estimated it a little and I am only in 2 classes right now. I had planned on taking on more classes for spring but I do not know if I can handle the work load for them and the baby and my job. I just keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end and our lives will be better for it. I can do anything if I am doing it for her.
