Things that are devastatingly sad in our house today:
1. Not being allowed to take your toast into the living room.
2. Having to wear clothes.
3. Knowing that your favorite pacifier is in your bedroom and that you can't have it until bedtime.
4. Any sort of restraining straps: the stroller, the high chair, the back pack
5. Gloves
6. People not making your breakfast, snacks, or lunch fast enough
7. Naps
8. Not being allowed to hold your own glass cup
9. The Big Heads (thank you, Anne LaMott) in your family not picking up all the things you drop on the floor during meals
10. People trying to fool you into thinking your wooden cell phone is as cool as everyone else's
11. Getting out of the bathtub
12. All diaper changes, clothing changes, and attempts at putting on shoes
13. Independent play time
14. Limitations on the amount of toilet paper you can eat
15. Limitations on the number of pages you can rip out of a book
16. Limitations on how many Q-tips you can have in your mouth at one time
17. Limitations on how hard you can head butt your mother
18. The inability to walk more than seven steps without falling
19. People singing you Tom T. Hall songs to cheer you up
20. Having to spit out the earplug you are storing in your mouth
When no one else understands, bear cares.

Oh, I'm laughing so hard. Poor, poor Ocar! Life is SO hard when you are little. It's so much work and so many intrusions.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the litany of the two year old. It starts out "I am so great! I'm number one! I'm the only real human in the house and the rest of you are robots..."
