With this being the first post of 2010, I thought it would only be appropriate to start with a few grandiose toddler moments.

Dry Erase Markers – We *heart* the creator of Simple Green and the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!  Lil Boo took the black dry erase marker from his ‘art easel’ and elected to show us his newfound talent – Tagging the Furniture/Carpet.   Much to our surprise the list includes (but not limited to) – the dinning room table, a side table, a wall in the dinning room, the carpet in the hallway, a ludicrous amount of toys, a chair in his room, and pretty much each piece of white furniture in his room.

National Naked Toddler Rudeness Day – To be blatantly rude is one thing.  To be blatantly rude and naked?  Well now, this is just pure insanity.  The pure and innocent melodies of charisma vomiting from your toddler’s mouth in a fit of rage are the most delightful experiences one could ever ask for.  The destruction junction would only last for a few minutes, followed by a warm touchy feely hug.  All was well.  I just want to know who the prick was flipping the chaos toddler switch!

Dead Cow Meat Juice – Better known as beef broth.  Anyone care to do a few shooters of this nasty crap?! Mister I am a BIG boy has some hefty balls.  Not only did he help himself – he managed to open the container, pour himself a glass, and take a mighty gulp of the putrid smelling and tasting cow juice.   Talk about the gagging noises we heard!

Peas and Bananas moment.

Potty Training – Over the holidays, the Mrs. spent a lot of time encouraging the use of the potty.  I mean my god Lil Boo is almost four years old.  Hurry up or you’ll miss the train mister mister.  Moving forward the other day, Lil Boo came running up to me from down the hallway:

“Daddy, Daddy – look I pooped in the potty!”
Really? You did? Let’s go see it.

*walking back down the hallway to the bathroom*

Holy smackers bookins, that’s a bloody torpedo!
“See I pooped all by myself – I’m a big boy now!”

Mission Accomplished – Daytime potty training completed.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the continuation of the YOB Years! Where all you need is a BIG Hug!

Peas Out!
