Uhhh my cousin’s new 2yo is with me for the day while she is working. Either I forgot about 2 year olds or my two weren’t ever this bonkers. Well I know it’s a combination. He is all over the place and everything, gives no Fs if I call his name (you know to like stop him from running away 🤣), etc. I’m too old for this. Pray for me that my next one has mercy on me.
I have to take him to L’s school this afternoon at pickup and there is a 15 minute slideshow and the class sings. He will NEVER sit still that long. Lol idk what I’m going to do.
You need to go to a park that is fenced in. If it is hot enough I'd turn on a sprinkler and let him get nice and tired.
Yes! We are in our fenced backyard now- water table is a winner. We have a big play set too, which he likes, but he has no fear and is clumsy- I’m terrified of him on the platform edge!
my almost 2 year old NEVER STOPS MOVING. outside is best so he can run around and play with new stuff. Any playgrounds near you? We could go to a basic playground for HOURS, lol.

I’ve got the water table and sprinkler set up and he is all about that and new toys all over. I’m going to stay out here as long as possible before lunch. Lolol. Of course my 3.5yo is all “I wanna go insiiiiiiiidee” 🙄
Everyone is always like awww! But they always have a buddy! They can play together and you done have to entertain them! Umm definitely not how it works. When they’re not beating each other up, then they’re working together to help each other climb on the counter, or rip my purse apart and draw on the wall with lipstick, or get into the pantry and dump a 2lb bag of quinoa on the floor etc. Two heads really are better than one. They’re lucky they’re cute! Lol

And going in two different directions!! I knelt down to buckle the booster seat in for lunch. He got down the hall, through my (closed) bedroom door, into my bathroom, into the tub and turned the water on. Omg 😩

knx9211, don't fret, every kid is different. DS is 5 and some of his friends still nap regularly. My kids stopped napping reliably around 2 (the problem of course is that DD NEEDS a nap. Sometimes we do lock her in her room and let her cry until she passes out).
For the school thing give him a lollipop and let him look at pictures on your phone. That is the only thing that ever worked for more than 40 seconds for my kids!

I ended up putting him in the carrier bc he kept running ALL over and nothing would distract him. Being trapped in the carrier plus the mom bounce put him to sleep for the last 15 minutes. 😅
For the school thing-YouTube. All the YouTube. With headphones if he'll wear them, and if not just keep the volume down. Otherwise...good luck and godspeed.
