No more poop in the tub and the terrible twos

Seriously, mommy can't handle anymore poop in the tub. I won't go into the gross details but this is unusual behavior for him. Terrible twos? Yes. Is poop in the tub the worst thing that has happened over the last two weeks from our terrible two. No. Nope. Not at all. WARNING: if you are thinking about having children, do not read further - my son might change your mind.

Before I recount a few of these stories, please know that I love my son. He is amazing, smart, cute, and so fun. He has this really cute thing of holding my whole face when he wants to have a smooch. Sawyer is the best but he is two years old.

Fireman Sawyer:  Last week Sawyer pulled the fire alarm at his nursery school. Here is a link to the building overview. At least over 2,000 people had to evacuate because of my son. Cheers.

Balls: Sawyer's most favorite thing right now is throwing balls down our basement stairs over the kid gate. And then after he has thrown all the balls, he climbs on to the gate and tries to rip the kid gate down while screaming, "Balls, balls, balls!" When I don't let him go get the balls, there is a major melt down. Balls.

Don't feed Sadie: Sadie is our 14 year old dog. Sawyer loves to throw food at the dog, which is a no-no. Sadie has to sit in the living room during meal time, but Sawyer still tries to feed her by throwing food across the kitchen when I am not looking. Sadie loves Sawyer, and has gained some weight over the last few months.

Oh no, oh no, oh no: Instead of saying "No" all the time, Sawyer runs around saying, "Oh no, oh no, oh no..."  This is really cute - but after you have heard, "Oh no" a million times in an hour - it kind of wears on you.

Tattoo face: Lately when Sawyer is coloring or painting, or whatever with crafts - he successfully also draws on his face. Yes - in the movie Eat, Pray, Love - one of the characters says, "To have kids, you have to be committed. It's like getting a tattoo on your face." We have taken this analogy to a whole new level. See image below. 

OK - enough of the terrible twos. My son is still amazing! Eloise is also awesome - next post will be all about her. Love to you all and enjoy some photos!
