Dear two-year old

Dear two-year-old,

Let me begin by saying that I love you.  I love your funny face and your wild hair.  I don’t know what I would do without you.

That being said, I don’t quite understand your fascination with combining markers and our white couches.  I mean, I suppose I can see the attraction.  So I try to be patient. 

However, I do wish you knew how much time and effort it takes to get it all cleaned up.  I finally did that yesterday.  You may have noticed.

In fact, I’m sure you noticed, because today you did it again.  And then you peed on the couch, just for good measure. 

I hope you had fun.  I am sure it was very satisfying to make that nice, clean surface look “normal” again. 

I just wanted to say thank you, for letting me enjoy the clean couch for 12 entire hours this time.  That was big of you.

Love,
Mom
