This is in response to my dear mother-in-law who suggested I capture the memories of tending our children, specifically the hi jinx of two year old while I am at home.
Besides having an extreme understanding of what my wife has gone through working and taking care of most of the children management I am learning that there are many, more subtle lessons in life you can learn from a two year old.
Lesson 1. Cereal sometimes tastes better after you spread it evenly all over the floor (no I did not actually taste it) Yesterday, after he found a box of cereal he someone managed to spread it pall over the basement floor, even into the far reaches of the couch. I am sure that the clean up was not as fun for him as the spreading. As you can see he was able to enlist his brothers in the clean up effort.
Lesson 2. Not everything flushes. Later that day I heard repeated flushes coming form the bathroom by my office. As I entered the bathroom he was hunched over the toilet with both arms actively engaged in trying to assist something flush. As I approached he had a complete box of baggies that he could not understand why the would not flush.
Lesson 3. Chocolate is king. Upon discovering his brother's beloved chocolate bar he just had to have some. I thought putting it on the fridge would solve the problem. Little did I realize he had the answer. I came back after hearing the sounds of chairs moving across the kitchen floor. As I entered the kitchen he had arranged every chair in a semi circle around the fridge and he was walking around on them trying to find which one would take him to the promised land (top of the fridge) I will do better and add pictures in the future.
