Being Two is So Hard!

Monday, Marcus took the two big kids fishing on the pier all day, so it was just me and the Mase-man home by ourselves.  He plays pretty well by himself for the most part, but when he doesn't get what he wants, look out! 

 

He asked for cereal for breakfast and wanted to be independent and get his own.  We see how well that went, haha!  At least he tried to clean it up himself.  I think three Cheerios ended up in the trash and the rest ended up getting spread around the floor until I got the big broom out and swept them up.

After breakfast, we played for a while and I had to go out and get a few things out of the shed, so I let him play outside.  He didn't want to come in and threw a fit when we went inside for lunch.  As I was getting lunch ready, he put on Mickey Mouse on the TV, which I had told him not to, so when I turned it off and brought him to the lunch table, this is what I got:

That lasted about 5 minutes, after which he calmed down and looked sleepy, so I asked him if he wanted to eat his lunch and then go lay down for a nap.  Emphatically, I got "NO!" So I let him sit there while I ate my lunch.

I look over a minute later and he's decided that his banana maybe isn't so bad after all.  He ate the whole banana and part of a sandwich, all while clinging to my arm like this.

 

It got quiet a minute later and I started hearing deep breathing, so I look over and he had fallen sound asleep on my arm, haha!  



 

 

I'm telling you, being two years old must be super exhausting!
