As we're walking out the door...
Reid- Mom, I want firetruck!
Me - No, Reid, firetruck stays here.
Reid - Mom, I want catty!
Me - No Reid, the cat stays here.
Reid - Mom, I want blankie!
Me - No Reid, blanket stays here. Hey, Reid, look, chicken!
Reid - CHICKEN!!! Mom, I want hug the chicken!
Me - Chickens don't really like hugs, Reid, let's get in the car.
Cort was on steroids recently for yet another attack of wheezing. Steroids give him 'roid rage, which isn't pretty in the 2 year old form. Sometimes I secretly call him Cort Manson when he's on steroids. He can dole out some rather sociopathic stare downs.
Cort - Mom, I WANT APPLE JUICE.
Me - Cort, we don't have apple juice. Sorry. Do you want some water?
Cort, tugging on the door of the fridge, making screaming noises, with tears streaming down his face - APPLE JUICE. I WANT APPLE JUICE!
Me - No apple juice, Cort. Do you want milk?
Cort - APPLE JUICE. I WANT APPLE JUICE!
Repeat for the next 20 minutes, until he finally decides that he now wants something different - like to torment his brother. 'Roid rage, I tell ya, it's something else!
Good thing they're so cute all the time, even when rotten!

oh two is rotten, but so stinkin' adorable!! Sounds like my house for sure...
ReplyDeleteLittle man: want juish box, Momma.
Me: we don't have any
Little man: want juish box, NOW, Momma.
lol
Enjoy your day loving on those blessings!!

My 17 yo has none of those cute qualities. I'm working on an "internship" with the Chinese government which will help him learn valuable assembly-line skills....
ReplyDeleteThat sure makes me miss my kids being little!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but just love this! Brings back my good old days. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Cort has to have the steriods...I know how nasty they can be. I do hope they help.
Put your armor on, Mom! Gotta fend off those roid attacks!
I love talking to 2 year olds (and 3 year olds too!). I hope Cort is feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteBracing myself over here.... :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a day at my house.
ReplyDeleteOh, poor little guy! Wish there was another remedy for his breathing problems. They are such cuties! :)
ReplyDeleteFunny thing I have those pretty much exact conversation s. Have a good day
ReplyDeleteI miss my two year olds. I remember they can be quite trying, but you brought back so many good memories. I have to say I enjoyed my kids a lot more at two than I do at seventeen. Although I wouldn't want to miss a day of seventeen either! Your boys are adorable. I hope Cort feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteI have the apple juice fight every day! How cute!
ReplyDeleteIt can't be easy being you during roid rage episodes... and lord help us when we don't have apple juice in the house. Our fav is Martinellis.
ReplyDeleteThey are very cute! But also very good at testing your patience!
ReplyDeletePoor baby! I get 'roid rage when on oral steroids. It is a terrible feeling:(
ReplyDeleteThat "cutneness" factor is what makes up put up with our babies-at any age:) Just wait until they are 16 and you are reminding them that they need to do those chores...;)
ReplyDeleteCort Manson-too funny Lisa!
i'm praying for patience for you! :)
ReplyDeleteCute has saved many children throughout the centuries from being sacrificed to the Gods. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL, a 2 year old with roid rage. A bit sad but funny at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLOL, So cute Lisa,
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say, I sure don't miss the terrible twos. The problem is, I now have a grandson who is two and he is acting the same way.
Funny stuff Lisa. I can relate though our twins are 5 now. Until becoming a parent, I had no idea how much logistics were involved everytime we get into the family car.
ReplyDeleteDad bring this and dad remember that is an unending theme at our house.
Who cares if they are rotten...they are sooo darn cute! Luv
ReplyDeleteMy two year old has recently started that and unfortunately the twins now four think they can get away with it because sissy does.
ReplyDeleteGreat times.
Love the conversation! Gee maybe I need to use that one "Roid Rage", I've been on steroids for years blaming my mood on menopause!
ReplyDeleteRoid rage on a 2-year old...yeah, not such a pretty sight. Cole had the same reaction when he was younger. Now not so much, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with kids wanting something you clearly don't have? As if you're a magician and can magically make a bottle of apple juice appear in your fridge?
You have just put the biggest smile on my face... I am so pleased my little chap is now 27 years old..
ReplyDeleteTake care xx
Those two are so stinkin' cute; I love reading what they're up to. :)
ReplyDeleteWell wait until they get 10. 15, 20 and so on. Teehee
ReplyDeleteNo seriously be glad they talk - means they are healthy and normal.

Can I borrow Cort for a while... maybe he can put my sassy 2 year old in check. She thinks the whole world revolves around her & her little fits are UNBELIEVABLE for someone so tiny. :)
ReplyDeleteMy twinnies turn three today, two seems so far away but it was sooooo much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Cort and his roid rage! ;-) But more that he has to be on steroids, poor pumpkin!!
How funny!!! I really sympathize with Cort's steroid rage. a friend just had to pt her toddler on them, and both her and her husband together could not handle the violence. I hope he gets better and goes off them soon!!!
ReplyDeleteI know you will make it through although you'll need to do some extra running now and then!!! Besides they have their old brother as a role model...he's young, I'm old!...)JP
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute! I have H who is around the same age but with twins, it must be even cuter. You should def link up on my Sat laughs:)
ReplyDeleteNothing like the toddler stage! They are cuties!
ReplyDeleteLove to hear them here! So cute!:) Thanks Lisa!:)
ReplyDeleteCuteness does make a difference!
ReplyDeleteSometimes being cute is all that keeps my 2 year old alive. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat cuties... so sorry for his troubles...
ReplyDeleteYour right- they are the cuttest little boys ever!
ReplyDeleteWe can just hear them now!
love
tweedles
Sometimes as frustrating as all this can be will be a treasured memory. I laugh sometimes when I see families out getting frustrated as I was at times.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I was laughing out loud Lisa. This is the kind of stuff my life is about.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I love to hear little ones talk. Of course, "I want apple juice" gets old after 20 minutes, I'm sure. Poor Cort . . . when I take prednisone for my asthma, I get like that too. But I'm not as cute!
ReplyDeleteI love little voices. I also love their mix-ups (alligator = elevator), but I don't love the same thing said over and over and over!
ReplyDeleteWhat a couple cuties! I get lots of repetition, too, and unfortunately I'm STILL getting it from the 7 and 10 year olds! I really like your blog - I'm here from the hop, and I'll be back plenty to live vicariously through your rural lifestyle - I'm stuck in the suburbs now, but I've always wanted to escape to the countryside!
ReplyDeleteThey are SO cute!
