Toddler Vs. Knife Round one! *ding* DUW

[TheAudOne]

Exactly..that's what I am amazed by right now...her memory is insane!!! I really have to watch myself

It's just ind blowing every little thing she remembers...I'm in shock over childrens minds more then I ever thought I would be...

Aleesha is totally right, you can't blame yourself for this! Tottlers can-- and will get into anything and EVERYTHING!

...they are called the Terrible Two's for a reason.

I hope to god I survive having a daughter...ya know 2 is bad...then there is 10..16...21..oh lord I'm dead....

But yeah it's just super hard...being younger and not fitting the mold of socker mom is rough on her and me of course...it seems alot of people (including my family) are waiting for me to fail...so when something like this does happen it seems that much worse...but ya know what? I'm young yeah..but I dont drink or do drugs...go out...leave her with strangers (hell I left her for the first time 3 weeks ago..and that was with my inlaws LOL..it was time for me to have a vacation 2.5 years with her daily was breaking me down ) I might just be the mose boring 23 year old you have ever met...I feel 70 :eek: I'm just working hard to give her a child hood that is sound and normal..what I wanted...I think right now and ever since I had her I have been fighting to either change into what people want to see a mom be or stick to my guns and be me... its easier for me to slap on a long sleeved shirt (i have visible tattoos on my arms) dress down and go to the park or where ever and actually meet people and talk to people...then it is to go as me... at the same time I am teaching Raigen that she has to change herself to please others which is not what I want her to do...yet sadly she see's me do it often. I'm tired of hearing "you cant do *whatever* because your a mom now" I'm a mom now...but I'm not dead yet! Ah damn this thread hit nerve..I'll stop ranting and go bake some cookies and iron her clothes now

Be you and stick to your guns! It may seem hard sometimes but its worth it in the end. The feeling you get from not caring is sometimes the best because you never feel like you've betrayed yourself. I felt that way once and I realized that if you're you others will appreciate you and the pride you have from being you. (I know thats a lot of "you"s in a sentence sorry)

LOL of I agree... it's just hard when you think "ok..this is me and thats ok...but being me effects my toddler who doesnt see anything wrong with the world and doesnt have a choice" ya know? It's hard...but what I live by is..if you judge me by my looks then your really missing out and your not the sort of person I would want to be around or have my child around...
I hope she also grasps on to this idea when she is older...she has a beautiful spirit so I think she will...i love that lil brat

I know people who judge a book by it's cover so to speak and miss out because of that and I also people who have lost their identity by trying to conform to the american eagle, hollister, cool persona. I hope your little girl doesn't have to deal with that but it sounds like she has a good mom to learn from so there probably won't be any problems.

Thanks! I also wonder if she will turn out cookie cutter preppy kid lol...knowing my luck she would and that would crack me up...although then I might be that embaressing mom...ah crap

my two year old got her first stitches at 18 months she was running and tripped fell face first into the corner of our 55g tank and got 5 stitches on her forehead above her left eye

Further incidents in my extended family (just so you know this happens to everyone!)....

- niece fell while running, smacked right into the corner of the stone fireplace and her parents got to spend Xmas Eve in the ER department

- various family members with fishing hook extractions (we like to fish and apparently occasionally cast badly)

- little sister vs coffeetable edge

- nephew vs hot motorcycle exhaust pipe (and this was with at least 5 adults right there...kids are FAST!)

- various and sundry sports related accidents including a tree almost falling on me while playing goal tender

- bikes with failed brakes, snowmobiles with failed brakes, ever so slightly impaired driving of lawnmower (sort of a la George Jones), oh and dirtbikes don't climb trees (neither do skidoos but tell that to my brother Jim will ya! :eek: )

We're kind of like the Kennedy clan....well without the vast amounts of money and snooty accents that is. (but then they don't have our cool collection of dead animal heads that apparently in my extended family are a must have decorating accent for any cottage)

My poor granny, the matriarch of the family, would just shake her head, get out the bandaids and that awful stingy stuff, put on the tea and mutter to herself that none of us would be happy till we'd killed ourselves "deed" LOL

HAHA OMG MEMORY FLASHBACK!!!

We have a sort of rougue bike park built in the woods inside a local park away from prying eyes and liability waivers. Well, lets just say I used to be a huge mountain biker back in middle school and one time when I brought a girl I was interested in, I sorta lost concentration mid jump as I was looking at her instead of where I was going to land my bike... I went smack into a tree. Let's just say as I flew off my bike my knee cap somehow got caught on my handle bars and I have a pretty nasty scar on my right leg where they had to sew it back on... Be careful around women, they just may inadvertantly kill ya!
