Temptation: In the Eyes of a 2 Year Old

I've been busy trying to get the house decorated and fixed up. That's always fun and stressful about moving to a new place. While I was out the other day, I found this tray and decided to accent it with balls. It didn't take long at all after putting the tray out that I realized I had made a big mistake! Jamison was thrilled to see them and he was even more thrilled that his mama bought him some little "footballs". That's what he calls the little walnuts! I tried to convince him that they aren't footballs, but it's useless. He's sure they are. I keep telling him they are Mama's balls and that he can't play with them. He just stares at me. I wonder what goes through his little mind? What I don't have to wonder about is this: what is temptation to a 2 year old? Because I know what it is, it's Mama's balls!


Jamison and Mama's balls

He told me over and over and over, "footballs, Mama." He was probably wondering when I was going to get it!

Oh my goodness THAT is little Jamison? I can not belive it!?! He is getting so big and he is SUCH a cutie pie! I remember how obsessed with balls he was when he was just learning to crawl so I can imagine those are a thrill for him, too! My mom had a basket full on her coffee table when we got home from kore and i promptly relocated them to an area with a higher elevation than a table. :D

You have such beautiful children! Let me know if you figure out any amazing parenting tips on getting a two year old to understand that when mama says 'don't touch' she means it! Caden seems immune to all forms of discipline here lately. :D

hugs!
