what it means to be a 2 y old

Pepe does not climb into his car seat. No, he climbs into the backhoe. And if you happen to suggest, "common Pepe, climb onto the backhoe so we could go", well,big mistake, Pepe immediately corrects you "It's not a backhoe, I climb onto the front loader". And don't even think about helping him a bit, cause he'll jump out and start from the beginning "I do it all by myself".

Pepe is ambidextrous. His spoon travels from his left hand to his right hand in a matter of seconds. Regardless, he continues to eat mostly with his hands. I blame Chris for that. Those who know Chris well - you know what I mean.

Pepe continues to sleep now because I woke him. If I want him to sleep, he does not. Who said "reversed psychology?".

Some people need coffee to start the day right. Pepe needs to see a digger or two.

Pepe's usage of denial serves him well. "It's not raining" (yes, right!), "it's not night time, it's 5'o clock (favorite number). "It's not all gone, I watch it again".

If Pepe talks to you and you are not paying full attention, he grabs your head and turns it toward himself. There is no escape.

If you are a young kid, beware, Pepe will grab your toys. If you are a toddler his age, beware, Pepe will try to grab your toys. If you are an older kid, beware, Pepe will scream and you will most likely give up your toys.

What gives Pepe pleasure?
"A baba!!!!!!!!!".
"Chocolate...yeah".
"Soy chips...OK."

Anything else..."I don't want to. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO".
