Toddlers are so so cute. Duh. But seriously, I can't stand it.
Even when they're mad, the way they try to articulate their anger verbally, the words sound so formal in their little mouths.
The 2 year old middle sister I sometimes babysit, even when she's angry because her sister is being mean to her, she doesn't always fight back physically, she just sticks her tongue out and blows a raspberry.
The other day she was so angry because her sister was kicking her doll's stroller, she dropped the glass cup of water on the table and ran to berate her sister in tears in deliberate words she uses, no contractions, simultaneously livid yet trying to form her mouth around language.
That is not nice _____!
I do not like you anymore____!
Even though at the moment I was slightly frantic, worried she broke the glass ( she didn't), mopping up the spilled water with measly paper towels, worried their screaming woke up their napping baby sister
The situation was quickly assuaged (just as suddenly as it started) with promises of Extra gum spearmint flavor.
