The joys of a 2 yr old
b.b...b..b.b.b..but mummy i dont want my picture taken ( excuse my messy house it was first thing in the morning )
I love all my kids dearly I have a clearly uniquely different bond with each of them.
Elliott is growing so fast its hard for me sometimes caus I want to keep him just as he is now even with the 2 yr old strops , I want to keep the wee sensitive soul that he is, His caring loving nature when I was Ill last week it was EJ out of my boys who was trying to take care of me most to get me pillows and blankets and books and he even tried to bring me a drink bless him.
Hes a sweet child with an adorable personality, just this afternoon when I put him up in his room for his naptime he was calm and happy to go to bed and asked for cuddles then happily told me "bye bye Mummy I nap now!" and before I had even left the room he had tucked himself into bed and shut his eyes.
My husband called EJ our "LOUD" child for the first 8 months of his life because he does have a powerful set of lungs on him and when he is upset the whole block knows about it theres no "Shhhhshh-ing" him when hes upset he wants everybody to know about it so over the last couple of years we have developed ways of enabling him to be happy in situations where there used to be issues.
We by no means give in to his strops and tantrums even if it sends my husband running for the hills when he lets rip in the middle of the supermarket lol. but instead try to minimalise chances of him getting upset by using a bit of forethought about things since hes not quite as adaptable and flexible as Nathaniel, Not that there is anything wrong with that Its part of who he is and we love him just how he is its just that Parenting requires more than just one text book because although our boys have the same parents they have very individual personalitys, needs, prioritys and require different tactics to manage them.
More with EJ than Nathaniel but their little faces when they are trying to be stubborn are just so darn cute and make me want to smile or laugh often ( which is not very helpful when your trying to be strict on something ) and the moment of this photo was exactly one of those moments, Little EJ was none too happy about having his picture snapped and was telling me " No mummy, no Pot-O" ( photo in EJ language ) and quite sure I couldnt get a smile from him but hes just as cute and adorable when hes grumpy thankfully so there's your picture.
