What?!

Christopher was extremely overtired. He chose not to take a nap, but to try on all the socks in his drawer and then wad them up into little balls and filled up the shelf on his bottom bunk bed. Then he crawled under his bed and played with cars and scrap pieces of tissue that are so fun to pull apart. He occupied himself for about an hour and a half until I finally told him to just come downstairs already. By then his tiredness was starting to kick in, but it was way too late to let him sleep!

For those of you who have ever dealt with, struggled with, seen or heard an overtired two year old, you know how annoying the whining and crying can get because it is just non-stop and nothing can turn the whines into happiness.

So here was Christopher, sitting in his booster chair at the table, wanting to get down. He had not finished his food (how could he eat when he was so preoccupied with his crying?) and Fred was trying to help him. We finally decided to just let him go to stop the annoyance, but when Fred tried to lift him out of his chair, he started screaming, "NO!!!! Mommy do it! Mommy DO IT!!!" "But Mommy's busy." Christopher's overtired reply: "Mommy's not busy! Mommy's nice and warm!"

What?!

Well that cracked us up and made Christopher crawl under the table and scream some more. Oh, the joys of two year olds! I love them!
