Tonight, as usual, I went through the routine of putting Grayson down for bed. After Daddy read him a book, I took him upstairs. He brushed his teeth and then we went through the ritual of kisses, hugs, “luv yous”, & finally”night, nights”. As I was straigtening his crib- the final step before the end of his day, he looked over my shoulder, started pointing toward the corner and said “ock een” over and over again. Of course I had no idea what “ock een” meant, so I placed him on the floor and asked him to “show me”. He marched over to the rocking chair, removed his giant teddy bear (as I told him- “no, you can’t sleep with the bear.”), began tapping the chair and said “No mama. Sit.” I obediently sat. He grabbed his blankets, climbed into my lap, said “ock een, Mama”, (rocking) and then laid his head on my shoulder. Then and there my heart melted. I rocked him and loved the fact that my independent two- year old could now demand that I cuddle with him. Maybe I love the terrible- twos after all!

That is so precious. My heart would have melted too.

Totally worth not following your routine!

Don’t they amaze you when they do something like this???? I love this age - not terrible at all.

Oh, I love that!
Tess is much the same way, very independent, completely wants to do things on her own…but I had to take her to the doctor a week ago and she just sat on the paper table in her little underpants and said, “Mommy, will you hold me please?”
Makes it all worthwhile
