diary of a temper tantrum - parker style

We spent the afternoon playing outside as these kids are driving me crazy! When they ride their bikes on the driveway i usually put a few cones at the end of it so that people don't turn in quickly. Parker turned the placement of the cones into a major power struggle. Most of the time when he has a little spaz i find it hard not to crack up right in front of him. So today i photographed the whole thing (which really bugged him.)

So behold the beauty of a 2 year old tantrum in photos:

You see this cone? I want this cone "ON THE ROAD!" Mom says "But parker we don't put the cones on the road. They'll get run over."

I'm gonna show you, stupid cone! (Chuck #1) Stupid mom! The cone goes on the road!

There! Now i'm walking away and you better not touch that cone!

The cone? It was getting a little sad.

So, i tried to move it. Which resulted in chuck #2.

"Go away. It's perfect."

Then i came over (laughing) to move it which resulted in chuck #3.

At which point in time he changed his mind and decided "NOT ON THE ROAD!" and chucked it into the ditch across the road.

Where he ran back to protect them when i came near. "GO AWAY!!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!"

Then he came back over to our side of the road and nonchalantly attempted to kick the other cones into the ditch on our side.

When that failed we had chuck#4.

And that was the end. And soon after he walked away like this.

And that is why i love two year olds.
