Two is Not at all that Terrible

My 3rd son loves to hear the sound of his voice. He's of slight build, with long hair, sweet-looking, fabulous smile, eager helper...and loud.

I mean, really loud. When he's in a snit, he can go on for hours. The words which come to mind are "Energizer Bunny". Can you picture that ad of a bunny with a drum? DS3 can surely keep going and going.

It's hard to imagine how my other kids were. I have a very short memory of their screaming and kavetching at two. Maybe they were loud; I just don't remember them being as loud as this little Emperor, also known as my Darling Son#3. He'll outgrow all this drama, just like the other 3, but still, I wonder if the other three were as loud as him.

These are my babies below. DS2 in aqua, DS3 in jumpers, and DS4 in the stroller.
I don't always understand the logic of a two year old. Take a look at one of our conversation below:
"I want milk." So, I give him milk.
Then he'll say, "No! I want milk!"
"This is milk darling" I answer.
"No! I WANT MILK", shrill this time.
"Ok. Did you mean orange juice?"
"NO. I WANT MILK!"
"This is milk. Would you like some cereal with this?" I asked.
He screeches and kicks the floor
"Would you like some pizza instead?" I asked.
"Yes, chitcha and milk"
Sometimes, it's hard to figure out just exactly what DS3 wanted. This is what usually happens when I can't figure it out. I feel so bad :(I don't mind so much. More often that his yodeling are hugs. Those sweet sloppy kisses and unlimited hugs he gives me are one of the bestest there is. There's also these

"I you too, Mommy"
"Kiss"
"I need a hug"
"I hug you Mommy"
I'm loving being a mother of a two year old. We have our moments, but it's all around fun.

Did that 2-yr-old return to sleep?

Mine is having a sleeping time crisis. We have to start all over again with bedtime.

not easy being a mom of 5 but the joy of seeing them together at times does have a good payback...

"...DS3 in jumpers..."

And I actually look at the 1st sentence of your post to see if I see the pic right.

"My 3rd son loves..."

And I thought DS3 was a 'she' in the pic. (Even though I've worked in the pics for the template, I still can't believe how DS3 could be so big now. I mean, he looked quite different on the pic on your new header.. he seems to grow fast. *winks*)

But anyway, your son is really cute.

<3 the milk conversation.. haha..

"Those sweet sloppy kisses and unlimited hugs he gives me are one of the bestest there is."

lol.. i've got the right song in mind. "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle. (Ahmm.. if only DS3 was a girl and you're a father that is. but still I like the song. maybe you want to know the lyrics?)

Have a nice day! *hugs*

Cheers,

Five kids for me and I have learned not to try to compare them as they go through their "stages." I learned that for all their similarities each child develops completely uniquely. Its a miracle!

I am just learning that Phil...otherwise, there'd be these endless, needless worry.
