My life with an almost toddler in three part tidbits.
Part One
Me: Say Mama. MAMAMAMAMAMAM. Ma. Ma. Mama. Can you say that?
Baby Blogworthy: DADDADADADADADADADADADADADA.
Part Two
Me: Your mouth is already full. Don’t put more spaghetti in your mouth. Swallow what you have.
Baby Blogworthy: *scoops another handful of spaghetti into his mouth*
Me: Don’t drop your sippy cup. Don’t…don’t…
Baby Blogworthy: *drops sippy cup*
Part Three
Me: Come on, baby boy, go to sleep. I know you’re tired, honey. Thirty minutes isn’t enough time for you to take a nap.
Baby Blogworthy: Gagabaga ababaha dadahaga. AGHAABABAGABADA.
Me: I understand but you still need a nap. Here, hold mama’s finger, lay back, enjoy this car ride.
Baby Blogworthy: AWAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *crocodile tears*

So stinkin cute! I wish mine had slept in the car like that! Little professional “assvice”? Use language without saying “don’t” or “stop” because toddlers only hear the words after that. (I’m not lying, it’s complicated brain stuff). So instead of saying don’t put that in your mouth, try saying “put it back on the table”.
He is getting so big Amanda! I love it! You are such a sweet little MOmma.
Best,
Tina

Tina! Great advice! I always heard they don’t really understand “no” so to use it sparingly, but I didn’t know the rest. Thank you!
He is a dollbaby and a typical toddler from the sounds of it lol.

Thank you Angel! Yes, it’s going to be interesting, especially since we’re so close to walking. Lord help us!

So he learns to say Dada before Mama and doesn’t listen to you?
Hey, we have the same life! Monkey says Papa all the time, never Mama. He also listens to Papa all the time. Argh.
Baby Blogworthy is just adorable.

He LOVES to climb on me and crawls to me usually, but then looks me in the face and says DAD. I want a little MAMA action as a reward for all those late nights!
He is so adorable, but they never listen.

Is there anything cuter than a sleeping baby? Oh right, a sleeping baby who sleeps more than 30 minutes…
It’s the biggest relief when they finally fall asleep. I feel like I have some victory or something

HAHAHA! All I can say is YEP!!
Sweet pea. My daughter totally refused to say Mama (she was seriously close to 2 when she finally said it)…this is the child who peed in the potty before she ever talked : )
Thank you for sharing these sweet MOMents with us at My 3 Little Birds!

Jack didn’t say Mama until he was at least a year old. It drove me nuts.

Oh, the drop sippy cup phase! I always love when we moved past that. Silly little Baby Blogworthy!

Tina’s advice just saved my life. I’d suspected something like that, but she confirmed it.
Cute post! Thanks for linking up at lovelinks!

Ooooh, babies. They sure have a mind of their own, eh? K loves to drop her sippy cup, too. It made me mad after picking it up for the 100th time last week so I shouted a stern “no.” Out came the pouty lip and crocodile tears and I was about to cry, too. It’s so hard being tough on them – I have a new respect for moms (once again)!

That happens all the time with Luke! AS soon as he hears “NO” he starts crying. Usually it’s when my husband does it because his voice is so much louder. They know how to get us, huh?

“I understand but you still need a nap.” is a phrase I utter often.

Heh heh! I can so identify – especially the naptime part!
My boy’s the SAME.
San recently posted..Back to the past… Pasar malam games, anyone?
Usually he’s so much better at naps but that weekend — OMG — he refused all day. Literally, slept 30 minutes all day. Mama was getting desperate!

Toddler talk is the greatest… so flipping frustrating for everyone!

Just wait till the toddler stage comes. I would say it gets better but then I would be lying.

Oh great…so much to look forward to
So sweet!
Baby Blogworthy and Donut are totally cut from the same cloth! I do so much for the kid, like 99% of the work and what does she do? Looks up at my husband, smiles and says “Dada.” Thanks, Donut.

I finally got a MAMA this weekend but then it turned right into NANANA. There isn’t even a “nana” in our life!!
lather, rinse, repeat. that’s the life with little babes. and big ones, too.

You tricked him into going to sleep! Against his will! He really is a really cute sleeper though, huh?

My youngest learned how to say “Dada” first but now he refuses to say it at all. It’s only “Mama” now so maybe Baby Blogworthy will do that same.

Hehe. You have described it so perfectly!!
That was my daughter only a few short months ago.

Ah, memories. Now that you write this, it all comes back, though it’s been a few years and most of my memory was excised during the delivery of my son.
Still… today’s issues aren’t a whole lot different. My son, aka “opposite boy”, typically does just what I tell him not to, pretty much without fail. (I did the drive around in the car thing too – sometimes it was the only way he would nap!)

Your toddler is quite the rebel. Did you introduce Mel Gibson movies too young? ‘Cause I hear that can happen.

Mama was the 403rd word he learned to say. I think it came right after “leaf” which I really hope isn’t a relative scale of importance in his life
