WE
all thought he was
bypassing the
Terrible Twos.
In many ways we are
right because he
IS sweet and kind.
However,
he HAS learned the
power of saying
NO.
I went down to Milwaukee
to watch
"the boys"
so Mom and Dad could
go see a live performance/taping
of Prairie Home Companion.
They said it was a marverlous
show.
So, during dinner time
as the
MUNCHINKIN
was munching on
crackers, peanut butter,
yogurt and
I smiled and said to
BigBoyE
"Let Nana take your picture".
NO NO NANA.
NO PSSSHURE!
Please E!
Can you smile for Nana?
NO NO NANA
NO PSSSHURE
NO WIGHTS (flash).
There's no lights, E!
See?
Flash (ha- get it flash- no flash-nevermind)
to pillows
that Mimi made.
Aren't they darling?
NOW can I take your picture?
NO NO NANA
NO PSSHURE...
NO WIGHTS...
STOP!
Okay then...
Look- E- NO lights-
We'll take a picture of the chair
that Mom recovered.
See-NO flash?
Now can I take your picture?
NO NO NANA!
Okay- I give up.
CharlesInCharge
is too little to say
NO NO NANA.
I catch him playing with
his toys.
And then he looks at me full on.
Four and a half months old now.
Doesn't it make your heart melt?
And speaking of melting...
try watching a two year
old hold these in his hand....
Guess what?
If you hold them in your hand
LONG enough
they DO melt!
Trust me-
I can't show you a picture
because THIS is what I
got when I asked to
see a picture of his hands.
Oh- No-
I see a SweetCheeks in the making!
Yep, you got your hands full alright!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful boys!
m.
Oh no! Running from the papparazzi already! Could you imagine having 2 Sweet Cheeks?
ReplyDeletethe boy version of sweet cheeks, now thats going to keep you busy!
ReplyDeleteNo No Nana, I see a new name for your blog....
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why kids love that word so much....
Mine won't be 2 till July, but she's been saying no for at least a month now, Diana. Although, sometimes I think she's confusing it with yes when she shakes her head no.
ReplyDeleteI have had alot of experience working with toddlers. The twos are nothing compared to the three's. Some of the toddlers I have worked with were angels until that 3rd birthday and then they showed a whole new personality. I think because they are smarter and more independant.
ReplyDeleteMy computer is graying out most of the pictures today and running very slow......oh no not again.
I did see a couple pics......and those boys are so cute. The baby is loking like a little guy now and adorable.

Fell on the floor on this one! LOL
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I LOVE babies and little ones and even taken to telling the neightbor child stories...what's with that!
They ...melt in your hand?? NO!!!
I tried using M&M's in the studio the other day to get Brycen to stand by the big #1, but he had no clue what they were, or what to do with them. Poor kid must not get enough Grandma time.
ReplyDeleteBut normally, they will keep a one year old by the one long enough to snap a few pictures.
Another trick is an animal call. Don't tell him you're planning to take a picture. Just get an animal call of some sort from the hunting department of just about any big discount store and get the camera ready then blow through the call. They will look..... and sometimes they even smile.
Too cute! Little man is a bit camera shy. What a couple of cuties they both are! Loved the chair and pillows. Not as cute as the little ones, but close. lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
Such fun. I miss my grandbabies. It is interesting how they love to have their picture taken and then all of a sudden, they don't want it taken anymore.
ReplyDeleteThey are so strong willed at that age. I remember going through alot of that when mine were that young.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog!! Love your posts!! I am following along, looking forward to lots of visits!
ReplyDeleteMany blessings new friend,
Rayanne
Oh my, do I remember those days, except my now 22 year old "boy" was always a ham and posed for every picture. ;) Your cuties are adorable, no's and all. Yes, my heart melted a little, just like the M&Ms. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by.
XOXO
hahahahahhahahahah!!! I can not wait to have grandchildren!!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
Diana,
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling post!
I so enjoyed it.
My baby boy is now "31". I still fuss over him. He made the comment just last week "that I still treat him like he's 12". Even though he is now a man on his own.... he will always be my "little boy". Enjoy them while they are little!... we know how fast they grow up.
Your April Fool's Day post was tooooo funny.
I look forward to the chuckles you bring to us all.
Will visit again soon.
Elizabeth
they also melt on white sofas, pillows, cabinets, refrigerator doors, bed spreads, etc....lol. Love this post Nana and he is too cute! Happy happy Easter. xo
ReplyDeleteToo Cute! At least you get half a picture..My kids are old enough to curse me and say "Don't put me on that stupid blog" Then they use the excuse their employer may see it. HAHA
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have grandkids.
Oh I used to hate when the M&M's melted. Yucky
Well gee Diana, I see that Debby really liked this post.LOL. I like that girl. Little "E" what a cutie even when he doesn't want a picture taken, you can see that one smile. Yes, I could kiss on those little boys for about an hour. Smiles xo, Susie
ReplyDeleteHi there, Oh what sweet cheeks! When my grands got into the "no"stage I would just look at them and say yes.
ReplyDeleteThey are just so cute! Loved the pillows by the way. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Noreen
What a couple of handsome cuties you have there. I adore your posts...they always make me smile! xo ~Liz
ReplyDeleteTwo of the cutest little boys I've ever seen Diana!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I act when someone wants to take my picture too : )
hugs
So sweet that you took
ReplyDeleteon your charges with
such gusto, Diana! I
adore those ages and
m&ms were MY secret
weapon at times, too.....
xx Suzanne
Yup, looks like THAT gene is a strong one in the family! I think these poor little ones get tired of getting their pic taken! (You didn't make it to my blog post...that was just a site that will deliver you to my post, you have to click on HERE to get to the post) ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have all three of ours this week so I know what you mean...Our 2 1/2 yr old loves saying no too...they do grow out of it thought.....Isn't being a grandma wonderful?
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a disaster! A bloggers grandbaby that does not want pictures!! The baby is so cute, I love that age!!
ReplyDeleteCarol

ReplyDeleteIt's good to see your adorable
g'boys! They are such cuties.
Love those pillows Mimi made
and the matching seat cushions!
Oh Diana, How adorable! Sweet cheeks galore, don't you just love it? One of these days they are going to posing like crazy, and anxious to see their faces on your blog. Have a wonderful Holy Week, Marcia
ReplyDeleteLOL Diana, I worked with children all my life and one thing I learned is that when they say no, is NO! LOL
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
Oh goodness me, you have some gorgeous grands and so adorable! I know you're busy sweet lady and the NOS are their fav word at that age, lol....GOOD LUCK! HAPPY EASTER and hugs,
ReplyDeleteFABBY
