In The World of A 20-Month-Old



Two stuffed Elmos are better than one. One stuffed Cookie Monster is enough. This way, all three can be carried with ease in short arms and no one gets left out.

Snow is not cold. Not even when the air is 10 degrees below zero. Snow is a play thing that tastes oh so good at any time of the day.

Hats should never be worn, even when the air is 10 degrees below zero.

A good use of ten minutes is to get up on a chair, get stuck, cry to get down, watch The Mommy help, then repeat until The Mommy realizes her back might snap.

It takes a while for The MommyDaddy to realize that the reason why the bath tub was scary was because the bath tub was slippery. A bath mat was a simple solution to two months of screamy fear, a little too late.

It is still amusing once in a while to cry in the middle of the night long enough to see if The Mommy will resort to a midnight viewing of Baby Beethoven. Very amusing.

Yogurt should be consumed at every meal. Duh. Then is should be tossed on the floor because it takes the shine right out of hard wood.

The garbage can is not a garbage can, but a delightful collection of ever-changing playthings.

Even when The MommyDaddy leave for a weekend, there is a whole line of people waiting to step in. Those people have kids and are a little more experienced.

Kissing everything is an important part of the day.

Asking for hugs is a sure way to change the mood of The MommyDaddy and an easy way to accomplish any of the above.
