Terrible Two's

How fun is this? I've got Max and Liam at home, and here's a typical morning.

Kathy gets ready for work, I come down, put out the trash (a lot since I missed it last week because we're the first stop), and make a cappuccino...so it can sit there unconsumed for a while since I'll suddenly be busy.

Make Kathy a mocha, get some eggs 'n' toast 'n' bacon ready for her. She needs to eat a lot as she's feeding Liam and can't afford to lose too much weight. Our little guy is topping 14 lbs and verrrry hungry.

Argue with our other boy Max that he's not hungry yet, but he insists on getting his own egg, won't share Mom's. No way.

Lose first argument of the day. Make Max his own egg. Mom leaves.

Max immediately declares he doesn't want the egg and wants to play video games (which he can't play).

Argue with Max, hoping he'll eat the egg.

Eat cold egg myself after losing argument. Suddenly, Max wants his egg....

No he doesn't. Yes he does.

Ooops, time for Dora. No, wait, Max wants to watch one his videos, can't think of the name offhand. Fisher price Dumpy the Dumptruck or something.

I put it in, start it... Max throws a tantrum, "I don't wanna watch it!!! I wanna watch Liam's Baby Video!"

Ahhh. So, it's going to be one of those days. Niiiice.

Next: "I want something" which translates into, "Now I'm actually hungry."

Chocolate rice krispies for breakfast it is! What a chocolatey treat for Daddio, running down his chin, chest, diaper, legs, toes, bench, floor...

By the way, there's new pix and videos up of the kids at the Fisher Brothers website!
