No, seriously.

Child, stop sticking stuff in your orifices. I figured out how to get stuff out of your nose, but if you had stuck that wad of paper any farther in your ear canal, you would have been out of luck.

This thing has a sign on it that forbids kids from climbing it. Needless to say every kid in the neighborhood has climbed it at least twice.

Argh!

The toddler’s new nap strategy: refuse to nap two days in a row, or make up for the lost sleep at night, and instead pass the hell out on the third day at nap time and sleep for as long as mom will let him. If he was rational, he’d just take shorter naps every day. Unfortunately for me, he is a toddler and therefore about as far from rational as it is possible for a human being to get. Rational human beings know that naps are awesome.

Removing toddler’s dinner from toddler’s nasal passages where he purposely inserted it and tried to shove it up as far as he could get it.

Seriously kid, WHAT THE HELL.

He ate an incredible amount of pesto. He also smeared an astonishing quantity of it all over his face and body.

I’m thinking there’s not going to be a vegetarian phase with this kid.

He watches a Sesame Street video featuring a talking shrimp and immediately indicates he’d like to eat it.

Also I have the only toddler on earth who won’t eat potatoes in any form.

I just had to go and say he doesn’t nap on my boobs anymore, didn’t I?
