My undefeated streak challenged
the four year old
told the two year old
Papa can’t go to his left

bad week for LeRoy
nothing had gone right
He wore his scowling angry face to the store
a happy "hi"
two -year-old waved at him
his heart leapt with happiness...

I see goodness and hope 
truth, optimism and purity the
angels put into your eyes before they
sent you on your mission to rejuvenate
the world, two-year-old child....

Two year olds leap
before they look	
DADDY!
replaces gravity
then writhe laughing 
from your arms
AGAIN!
I’ll always catch you
for these moments
pass too soon....

All you want to do is get ed up.
I’ve been thinking about stopping drugs.
A two year bender coming to an end.
No more eyes being red.
I’ll be sober,
And you’ll be a lonely stoner....

I'm the two year old
with white hair and wrinkly skin-
mother's eyes' magic

Two year old toddler
invincible dare devil
keep your eyes on him

Two year old toddler
will jump off the highest roof
completely fearless

Two year old toddler
Epitome of no-fear
Watch him each minute!...

Conversed today with my ninety-two-year-old sister
Now that's longevity, perhaps I should whisper
Case the gatekeeper's asleep
The great benefits she'd reap
Or maybe the gatekeeper could be into the liquor...

No matter what we say
The first automatic answer is NO!
But then upon thinking the two-year-old sometimes changes
The emphatic NO into a yes.
My husband and I used to laugh about this
Until he pointed out that I do the same thing.
Now it is not so very funny....

catching a long overdue nap with her 
exuberant
rambunctious
two-year
old

one
two three
how divine
just a few winks
he's back to the sweetest angel ever

triplet bear cubs are enjoying the remainder of the old hollow stump.
they’re hanging off pieces of her, one has fallen down on his soft rump.
mama is patient, but daddy bear might have turned into a grump.
You are on mama’s last nerve said the loudest one, a two-year-old chump....

Crying...with a wet diaper 
The two-year-old boy weeps 
Mom and dad still sleep 
His five-year-old sister awakes- hyper 
She thinks- "I'll give him a cookie" 
The boy stops bawling- good thinks, by the rookie

There is nothing like two year olds
They are like robots, only repeating what they are told
we are often in awe of some of their sayings
some of their words stop us from turning pages
they jump, play and just run wild
we look at them with wonder and smile
they came from us, but we ask whose child?...

Granted I was exhausted,
nothing more than usual. 
An innocent toddler staring at me
in a concerning manner, says
 “Wow…your eyes are old.” 
Laughing uncomfortably, I slightly coughed. 
The next fifteen minutes was spent lifting my eyebrows 
hoping to smooth my worn, wrinkled forty - two year old eyes....

With the confidence of a grandma
She picked up a purse and threw it over her arm
I am going shopping! The two year old announced.
Her mother rolled her eyes.

Her aunties reached for their purses.
They were going with her.
They did not want to miss a thing.
They picked her up as they headed for the car....

Travel day is what’s on tap
Two-year-old is in my lap
Doesn't seem that far to go
Just six inches on the map

Flying tantrums, status quo?
Not for parents in the know
Benadryl - voila! a nap
This ain’t my first rodeo…

Let’s be pirates Sammy suggested to her Halloween-loving dad.
He immediately pictured her dressed as a whipping boy lad.
She came downstairs looking like a sexy pirate queen wench.
Father stormed out to tinker in his garage, using his workman’s bench.
What is wrong? The girl asked her more than a tiny bit amused mother. 
If you do not know, go ask your twenty-two-year old brother....

As we look forward 
to a (Revolution)
in living and loving 
the retired life.
I was hoping my wife,
who is teaching me 
how to speak toddler.
Would lead me to a 
(Spontaneous) (Fixation),
to (Patronize) 
our two year old granddaughter, 
and (Navigate) the (Portal) of some 
(Tangible)(Intrigue).
And provide the older grand kids
with some exciting games 
and entertainment....

Forget   the  stores,   the  mail  and the mall.
A   two-year-old  with  a  box is two foot tall.
Forget the  bows,  the ribbons  and  the lace.
A three-year-old with a box is in outer space.
Save your  money,  and save lots of time too.
A  four-year-old  with a box  has his own zoo.
Take  all that  other  junk back  to  the  store.
The  box is being  decorated into a front door....

Let me tell you about our kids
We never know quite what they'll do
But they sure are a silly pair
The girl is four, the boy but two

The four year old is quite healthy
Without even an ounce of fat
When she goes out she'll take a pee
We like to reward her for that!

Our two year old is very quick
One time he even caught a rat!
Oh and I forgot to mention
The girls a dog, the boy a cat!...

If our Love should end 
Will you still be my friend 
Will you cry for me 
Like I would For you 
Please don’t lie tell me what’s true

Will you stay by  me forever 
Or will you leave me here 
Like the man I once held dear 
Never again to hold me near 

And will I waste another two year 
Fighting of a thousand tears 
Feeding my enticing fear

What would you do 
If our love should…end...

Everybody likes flowers right,
Except children who were violated in bedrooms with flowered wallpaper.
Oh.
 
Everyone loves faeries right?
Except a sensitive young twelve-year-old boy who was called one.
Right.
 
Everyone likes to nap, right?
Have you ever met a two-year old?
 
Everyone is the craziest word ever.
It should be eliminated.
 
Unless you are speaking of air, water, and food....

My faith so strong
        crumbled until completely gone
      when my precious child's seizures came along.
        My faith had all been drawn
  in the two year nightmare no prescription controlled.
  My prayers searched for answers God seemed to withhold.
    One night, I cursed God, I raged bold;
  next, all seizures stopped as God love-proved my rage wrong.
