Two-year-olds are spectacularly bad at listening. One isn’t supposed to expect it. And toy-throwing… normal.

Don’t make me play the preemie card…i’m still snickering. Love knowing i am not alone in the “I’m that mom” sorority.

In reply to Wendy Zamora. I prefer to think of it as "Major League prep." We're working on narrowing down objects thrown. Also let's review his name. Sheesh.

LOLing at “period of boob-ogling and fondling” in the comment above. So basically, they wrote you a note that Destroy is too comfortable and needs to listen because…he threw toys? Yikes. My child is in serious trouble. He’s already, at less than a year-and-a-half, showing a penchant for a good tantrum/toy toss/genuine freak out over any tiny, insignificant thing.

1) My son got the same notes from preschool when he was two (‘Please talk with Lucas about listening’). RUH??
2) This year (kindergarten) he was diagnosed with ADHD.
3) And identified as ‘gifted.’ (still not sure if this is a euphemism for ‘special needs??’ lol)
4) I almsot spit my iced-coffee at my laptop re: goosing/boob-grabbing, mainly because my son DID go through a rather disconcerting period of boob-ogling and fondling. AFTER he should have forgotten that he WAS breast-fed for 13 months.

I think those notes are generally written in hasty frustration. I’m learning not to take the stuff too seriously. At least you have good blog-fodder. 😉

Be proud of being That Mom. I know I am! Exactly how many people do you know that have been banned from their son’s middle school?? Sounds like expectations for a 5 year old, not a 2 year old. Ugh!

Yup, he’s 2. Zane makes a game of running away from me when he knows it’s time for diaper/clothing changes. Oh, and throwing, he’s good at that too. Thankfully he is also a good hugger and kisser, it sort of makes up for the trouble.

Tricia – I am having a tough day (my best friend passed away) and once again, your blog to the rescue! I needed your comic relief – thanks for the smile.
