These are the things my toddler says to me.

Sure, he looks so sweet and innocent because he is unbelievably adorable

But please,

DO.NOT.LET.THAT.FOOL.YOU.

This adorable boy child of mine is FAR from innocent.
His latest BAD habit is that he absolutely does NOT want to nap.
The minute you put him in his bed, the guilt trip begins…
“NO! Mommy, don’t weave me! Please mommy, no go.”
He says this to me and his bottom lip is quivering and the tears are streaming down his face.

Apparently, he doesn’t know who he is dealing with.
I’ve been down this rode with 2 other kids.
I am not mush.

So, I give him a book and tell him to lay down.
And then, then I lie to him.

Me: “Can you lay down and read this for Mommy while Mommy goes potty? When Mommy is done in the bathroom I’ll come back to see you.”
Toddler: “Otay Mommy, I read, you go pee. Come back see me after?”
Me: “Yes. Mommy will be back.”

Yes.
I lied to my 2 year old.
The best part, he actually believed me that I was coming back and laid there reading his book until he fell asleep!

Then there are the moments that he’s being so sweet and innocent.
For example, after his nap today he wanted to help me work.
He came into our office/den area with me, grabbed the Alex’s chair, put it right next to mine at my desk, climbed up in it and turned to me and said, “Mommy, I help you work. I help you.”
His idea of work…..play with everything on my desk and then ask to watch Bobby (AKA: Spongebob) on my computer.
So, thanks to the help of Windows 7, I did the smart thing.
I moved the stuff I was working on to the right side of my screen and open up an episode of Spongebob on the left side.
As the show started, I began to sing the theme song.
That’s when the toddler planted his hand across my mouth, look at me and said,
“Enough mommy! ENOUGH!”

Yes, this is my life with my sweet and innocent toddler.
