Having a two year old toddler

Ask me a year ago what I would have said about having a two year old toddler on my hands, I would have said I can't wait! Here I was with my six month old baby thinking mums whose children throw themselves on the floor of the supermarket (because they'll just die if they don't have that Freddo frog that is always conveniently placed where they can see them) is just really embarrassing. Until I turned into one of those mothers, you know the kind of mum who doesn't care if my child is having a complete meltdown over a chocolate bar because I'm too busy laughing at his facial reactions and pleases I'm getting from him. Xavier is a comedian and my constant entertainment, never a dull moment in my household. So here I am saying I admit defeat, I admit defeat to those mums who said to never use toddler and perfect in the same sentence. If I had to write a quick summary of my little x man it would be, loves to unpack everything that is neatly packed away almost immediately, has to repeat the word 'car' several times to ensure we are in fact leaving the house for an adventure, must be fussy with most foods but most importantly never eat vegetables, especially the green ones. If you got a boogey you better pick that bad boy out and wipe it on your tshirt, must tell mumma when I'm going to the toilet but never actually want to use the toilet. He's a real stuntman, a real funny kinda guy, the most perfect imperfect toddler, aside from most of the naughty things I have kindly pointed out he does do some angelic things. Such as kisses my cheek when he accidentally throws a toy car at me (or so he says) he says sorry when he drops a toy car on my foot or even when he puts a toy car in my hot tea of a morning. In case you haven't noticed he's also a real car lover *car car* and no I don't mean cat lover (hell no) he literally loves anything with a set of wheels, be it one wheel or four wheels, if it's got a set of wheels then Xavier's interested. So now that I'm coming to the end of my ramble I realize I haven't said many positive things about having a toddler because there is plenty. I have someone to trick into giving me a back rub and who can complain with that???
