Vote up the best tweets about life with 2-year-olds.
We've scoured parent twitter looking for the best tweets from parents of kids of all ages. And some of these stories are downright ridicuous. Here's the highlights of life with a 2-year-old, as tweeted by the parents themselves.
My 2YO was throwing a fit so I grabbed an empty Amazon box from the countertop and whispered, “don’t tell your brother and sister, but I bought this for you.” She immediately stopped crying and ran to a corner to play with it.
Hey if you could spare a prayer for my 2-year-old right now, his granola bar wrapper was pulled down slightly too low and it’s unclear if a recovery from this is possible.
After five minutes of crying and whining because she didn't want to wear the outfit I dressed her in, my 2 year old caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror as she stormed by, stopped mid-scream, and casually said, "Oh, I DO like this. Cute!"
For months my 2 year old has woken us at 6am with getting-murdered SCREAMS from her crib. Last night I asked her if she could just quietly call for us & she gave a casual "yeah sure." This morning I could barely hear her gentle request. How can someone so insane be so reasonable?
