Is there any hope in taming my 2 year old??!?!! My sweet, darling, funny, sensitive, cute, lovable,..... fit throwing, nail scratching, hitting everything, screaming, hair pulling, wild child is my dearest Wo-Wo (Logan)! I would love any suggestions that may help me channel my small ones energy to a positive result. Here is a list of his deeds in a typical day;
woke up and sang
gave mom the biggest hug ever
smiled and sang while mom read a book
screamed, kicked, and squirmed while diaper was being changed
ran down the hall squealing in delight with no diaper on
tackled by mom, screamed, cried, and protested modesty
played with McK and Luke
dumped entire new costco sized box of fishies crackers in living room
ate breakfast while on the go
finds formula and opens with mouth sifting formula all over the floor
eats formula with his hands no water added
dumps water all over floor
pulls all towels from kitchen drawer to clean up
pulls tupperware from cupboard
plays in potty
tries to bite mom while being cleaned up
time-out for 1 minutes that lasts about 10 seconds before mom has to chase him back on the chair as he laughs
plays in the backyard, picking up manure clumps
screams and protest while mom washes hands and feet
plays in fridge
unwraps cheese sticks and spits on floor
gives mom a hug
sits on moms lap
NAP.....awe the peace...
wakes up from nap
snuggles with mom
refuses lunch unless on the go
dumps orange slices on floor
dumps craisins
dumps lunch
plays in potty
pesters cousin Claire
hits his dearest cousin
hits mom and pulls moms hair because mom disciplines him
goes to time-out (which is a game to him)
says sorry to Claire by kissing her
goes to dinner with family...(this is another list all by itself)
dumps crackers in piano room
squeezes juice box on carpet to see it drip
unloads pantry
fights again with mom during diaper change
snuggles with Dad
climbs on table
colors McK's homework
plays with McK
plays in fridge
plays in potty
hits mom for taking him away from potty
does the whole time-out routine again
runs from the tickle monster (Dad)
snuggle with Dad
runs around the house babbling with delight
and finally BED!
Wow what a day. This is truly what happened today.

Seriously, how can one be so adorable and terrible at the same time? For now we are taking the good with the bad and hopefully the good will prevail.

Shari I am laughing very hard at this post, I can just see him running around doing all these things. And I'm sure that it is very hard to stay mad at such a little cutie!. Maybe it's a good thing he's so cute! :)
OH my gosh this sounds exactly like my Max! and he is only 18 months i guess boys will just be boys! Although I don't remember Thatch ever getting into thinks this bad!
They are so stinking cute though you can't help but just love the heck out of them!
Shari you can't tame "THE WILD" that is why they are called the "WILD". You need to let them run free until you can't handle it anymore then you need to put them out of your misery. HAHAHAHA Just Kidding. Nah Logan is such a high spirited kid and once he find his place he will calm down or just drive you nuts like mine does. I love that kid it is all mind over matter with him, he just wants to win everything (like his dad). But with the good mom that you are, you will be able to control the "WILD". One day at a time...
Oh, I am tired just reading that. Is it any wonder we can't get anything done all day with 2 year olds in the house? It is a full time job just undoing what they do. Love that Logan, though, so thick and squeezable.
