An Ode to Two! (psst … don’t forget the contest!)

Posted on 09 January 2008 by MommyKnows

I was cooking dinner (whoohoo) and Georgia was eating a DQ Dilly Bar.

“Muma, me want more ice freme.”

“Yes Georgia, after you eat supper you can have more ice cream.”

(note: I often say, “YES” before I mean NO to lighten the blow … this time it just didn’t work (not fair!).

I want ice cream
I want ice freme ….

It not fair!
It’s not fair …

It's just not fair
It’s just not fair …

It's not fair .... not fair ...

And it went on and on and on …. two is such a fun age!

She did eat her supper and then she did have some more ‘ice freme’, but only after singing the ‘ice cream song’ for me … several times … because, well as Georgia says, “it’s just not FAIR”.

Our version: “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”

Her version: “I freme, I freme … I freme a I freme!”

    I’d take a two year old over my crabby, somewhat sleep depreived, overexcited about the holidays still.. 5 year old. The kid is driving me totally crazy!

  3. glittersmama Says:

    I used to have a 2-year-old myself. And he had the temper tantrum & screaming DOWN PAT.

  7. Michelle Says:

    I’m right there with you, two is such a…challenge sometimes, isn’t it? And I’ve got the “somewhat sleep depreived 5 year old” with yet. another. fever. Three, count ‘em, three days of school and she’ll have absence #1 of 2008 tomorrow. Someone please help me!

  8. Deanne S. Says:

  9. Mefeng Says:

    I love to read your story. I can imagine Georgia sang I Freme song ;-) My 1.5 year old daughter says Iceee when she wants ice cream.

  10. Jaime Stephens Says:

    She looks just like my 19 month old… I guess perhaps with the 2nd it starts a lot sooner? I have my days where I sit here going good golly Miss Malie!

    PS…. DQ Dilly Bars are getting so small these days, you have to eat 2 ;)

  11. Heather Says:

    Cute and defiant…why does it have to be so hard?!?

  12. jw4mkc Says:

    I would imagine she wasn’t too happy about the camera in her face, too. I love pics like this, but it makes my girls even worse! :)

  13. lace Says:

    We are passed 2 with my niece and on to 3. I think 3 might be harder.

    I would love to post pictures of my niece on my blog but since I don’t have her parents permission, I don’t. But boy do I wish I could. We had a makeup day today and it reminded me of Georgia’s makeup day.

  14. Deb Says:

    Reasoning with a two-year-old…next to impossible. Congrats – you did it! :)

  15. MDB Mommy Sheena Says:

  24. TheAngelForever Says:

    See, when they are two and do that it is cute . . . now stick a 4 year old in and not too wonderful. BTW - did she ever get more ice freme later on?

  25. Kristian Says:

    Those pictures are GREAT. Thanks for the laugh to kickstart my very early morning. I might go get some “i freme” for breakfast now. Healthy…

  26. Jamie Says:

    “It’s not fair!!” ahh, the fave song of every mama out there!

  30. Angella Says:

    2 really is a spectacular age. (dripping with sarcasm!)

  32. The Park Wife Says:

    Give that beautiful girl some ice cream! Too cute!

  33. Divrchk Says:

    Too funny. Our 2 year old turns 3 in March. I personally think that 3—> 3 1/2 is worse than 2.

  34. Alexia Says:

    Ahhhh loverly…those meltdowns are great aren’t they….we had one just this morning – my son wanted more “dadee” (chapstick) and I thought he had smeared quite enough on his lips sigh

  35. katie bowen Says:

    cute even when upset… ;)

    thanks for the comment on my boy’s site! we love the calves too!

  36. Teri Says:

    Oh man, I wish I was that cute when I was crying and whinning

  37. Darci Says:

    Such a cute crying face!! :)

  38. Nap Warden Says:

    Oh are we so there with Miss Peach…only it’s chocolate chip cookies!

  39. Susy-Q Says:

    I took a few pictures of my son having a meltdown when I was trying to get him dressed to go outside. I showed his Daddy later and said, “See, this is what I had to deal with all day!”. Not really true but hey, hubby ended up doing the dishes and giving the bath!

    I think I might go get myself some ice scream out of the freezer.

    And by the way, how do you say no to such an angel face?

  40. Pat Says:

    Awww! Paris Hilton recently made that same face as Georgia does in her second photo!

  41. Carey Says:

    Shes so cute! Even when its not fair!

  42. Colleen Says:

    Oh how I’m familiar with that no fair face!

  43. Kellan Says:

    What a cute story. She is a little doll baby and those are beautiful pictures. Life isn’t fair – is it? I wish we could just eat icecream for dinner – then there’d never be a fuss and I’d never have to cook!! Let’s just start that new trend – how about it?

    Thanks for stoppin by my site – very nice to meet you. Hope to see you again soon. Kellan

  44. Laura Says:

    Too cute…how could you say No…or Yes, LOL

  45. nikkapotamus Says:

    I think that the red face only makes her hair that much more white :) what a cutie. I agree, my two year old is just as much a tantrum thrower.

  46. Auntie Gayle Says:

    I would have given you more ice freme before supper, Georgia.;)

  47. Sandy (Momisodes) Says:

    Oh man, that face! Priceless :) We have a 2-yr with the same face but with brown hair…

    “Freme..” oh the hilarity

  48. mama k Says:

    oh the cuteness is just too much.

    though I’m sure it’s not quite so cute when youre the mommy.

  52. Lisa Says:

    Two is GREAT Life is so full of up’s and downs. They get to feel joy and sorrow all within 5 minutes.

  53. zoe Says:

    awwww! how could you say know to her??? you must have a will of steel!

  54. Kait Says:

    Two is fun, but three is even better. The second time I removed my son from STANDING on top of the kitchen table, he proceeded to throw a fit including “I don’t want to keep you!”.

  55. ES Says:

    Ah well, kids will be kids. She’s cute!

  56. Jenny M Says:

  57. Cindi Hoppes Says:

    I am such a sucker for a crying child. It doesn’t matter if the child is mine or someone else’s. For some reason, I can’t take crying. I want them to be smiling. I love the blond hair! Cindi

  58. Audra Marie Says:
