If you ever want to be driven absolutely crazy, build something from Ikea in front of your 2 year old. This is how it went . . .
Me: Setting out all the screws in separate piles to count and make sure I had enough
Judah: Pulls up a stool to the counter to look at the screws. Starts reaching out to take one.
M: "Judah, don't touch those, mommy needs to keep them in order."
J: "Okay mommy. This one??" Picking up a different one.
M: "No Judah."
J: "This one??"
M: "No Judah, you can't touch any of them." I start to pull out pieces and lay them on the floor.
J: "Mommy, what are you doing??"
M: "I'm laying out the pieces before I put them together."
J: "Oh, mommy what's that??"
M: "That's a metal pole."
J: "Where does that go?"
M: "That goes in here."
J: "What are you doing, mommy?"
M: "I'm still trying to put this together."
J: Picking up a screw again "Where does this go??"
M: "Judah, please don't touch the screws."
J: "Mommy, what are you doing??"
Annoying to read? Play that out for about an hour and that's how it went . . . =)
