Just One More Addition

I just had to add this one...

18. Asking for a banana. I give him a little piece because I'm positive he's not going to eat the whole thing. He scarfs the little piece down. He asks for more. I give him one more little piece. He eats that one as well. Then he asks for "biiii nana" ("big banana"). I ask him, "are you sure you're going to eat the rest of the banana?" Of course he answers yes. I give him the remainder of the banana. I turn my back to make the wee little one's breakfast and when I turn back a few minutes later the remainder of the banana has been squished between his fingers and he announces "all done!" Urggh.

I will add just one more today but with the admission that this one is entirely my fault!

19. The pouty face. I taught him how to do it as a joke but of course it has come back to bite me in the butt. Anytime he doesn't get his way now the little bottom lip curls down and the eyes look like they are going to well up with tears. There's a reason we call him a "drama king"...

Additions

So I slept on it and I've reviewed the information on my last post and this is what I'd like to add:

16. Tweaking nipples. I know I hear the groaning but it's true. He thinks it's funny to tweak Hubby's nipples and today he even managed to do both at the same time!

17. Biting. This is a new one that I thought had passed us by. In the last twenty-four hours Hubby has received a total of two bites. One of them actually looks more like a puncture wound though.

I seem to be noticing a pattern here, who seems to be the one on the receiving end of all the injuries?

The Terrible Two's

Maybe someone would like to enlighten me about ALL the horrors of the terrible twos! So far it has involved:

1. Screeching on top of his lungs when we say no, when he's frustrated, when he's excited, etc...
2. After months and months of being really gentle with his brother, now he's decided to turn on him. The other day I walked in to find him in the process of trying to stand on his little brother!
3. Throwing food. I don't even know what to say about this one. Tonight's beans got tossed clear across the table.
4. Squishing food. One hand - bean - other hand, sssssssqqqqqqqquuuuuuiiiiiiiissssssshhhhhhhh.
5. Refusing to eat food. One day he'll eat more than the Hubby and the next day he'll eat one whole piece of meat and announce "ALL DONE!"
6. Throwing toys at anyone and everyone. Tonight the target was his "Nanny" and his "Buppa" - sorry about that again.
7. Total meltdowns pretty much all the time (my favorite of all the "wonderful" actions of a two-year-old)
8. Insisting that he must do EVERYTHING even if he's too little or too tired or just not able to. If he can't do that said thing or we say no than he tends to complete #7
9. Putting him to bed and watching him come out over and over to try to get out of going to bed.
10. Waking up in the middle of the night - he didn't even do this when he was a baby!
11. Whining. For a toy, for "iced tea", for a family member, for food, to get down from his chair at the dinner table and the list goes on.
12. Repeating "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" until I stop what I'm doing or saying to pay attention to him. Do I detect a little Stewie in him?
13. Throwing fits while I'm on the phone, even if it's only for a minute, to get my attention.
14. Insisting he's full until the dessert comes out.
15. Purposely waking up his little brother from his slumber. Grrr...

Anyone want to add anything?
