I felt bad for Tots today.  I think he’s getting near the Terrible Twos part in his life.  It’s rough on a kid to want to be big and do big stuff, but the need to still be taken care of like a baby.  I think about what he’s going through as if I had to do it myself. 

(It occurs to me now that I kind of am doing that, too.  Mom still buys me stuff I need, drives me places I need to go, helps me with my housework.  I want to be able to take care of myself by myself, but I don’t think I can right now.)

Anyway, nothing would make him happy today.  He didn’t want to do anything the right way.  He only wanted to go places he’s not allowed.  When he has a rough day, so do I.  I’m not really feeling like writing anything much more today, so I’m going to do a quick favorites list for fun.

Okay, now I’m bored.

I’m outta here.

Oh, wait.  You know those small plastic playscapes for little folks?  Our neighbors three houses down were getting rid of one that their kids don’t use anymore.  They even helped me bring it up the hill to put it in the yard.  I now know their names.  That was probably the best part of my day.
