You might be the mother of a 2 year old when...

your child is playing with an automated toy that asks him to do something and your child responds with, "No, I don't want to! I don't want to!" At least I can assure myself that I'm not the only one he tells NO to. As I tell everyone I meet who asks Zachary's age...They call them the Terrible Two's for a reason! Luckily he'll be 3 at the end of June, then may the hill turn to a downward slope. Until we hit the teen years and who knows what direction we will be in? OK enough of the sour 2 year old talk that will hopefully end soon, I'll tell his charming story now. The other day we were at the park and Zachary and I were bouncing on the teeter totter. A little boy about his age walked by and Zachary said to him, "Hi, what are you doing? We are bouncing on the teeter totter. Do you wanna bounce with us?" I thought it was very adorable and sweet. (The Zachary I enjoy spending time with.) Unfortunately, the other little boy didn't hear a word Zachary said and possibly was too young to really understand. I felt bad for Zach since he was trying to make a friend (even though he calls the sun and the moon his friends), but I told him that he was really sweet, but the little boy didn't hear what he had said. Maybe next time!
