Hi my name is Cesar! I’m two years old today! My mom normally does the writing on here but today I thought I would give the world a little insight into what it’s like to be the youngest kid in this family.
First of all, I have an older sister, Iris, age 7 and an older brother, Bency age 5. They can be real pains in the butt sometimes. They rarely let me play with them. Something about I’m not old enough to play board games and that I always knock down or mess up the creations they build. Yet, for my birthday I got some really cool toys that they are dying to get their hands on. If they even look at my toys with any hint of enthusiasm I make a loud screech and mom comes and tells the big kids to get away from MY toys!
Being the youngest kid I get to experience things at a much younger age than my brother and sister did. For example when my siblings were 2 years old they could only use crayons to color with. Let me tell you….CRAYONS ARE FOR BABIES!! I found these markers in my brother’s room and these are much better to color with. I now have located them in various other places in the house too and let me tell you….MARKERS ARE THE BOMB! You can color all over your body with them….try doing that with a crayon!
Thanks to an older sister I have been introduced to all kinds of great musical talent. Justin Bieber is my favorite. My mother is slightly irritated with me that I have no interest in learning Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. I guess this is what she tortured my older brother and sister with when they were 2 years old.
My older brother and sister are now both in school. It’s nice to have lots of time to myself with mom but the terrible thing is all the chores have fallen on me now. What my sister and brother did all summer is all up to me. Mom has me dusting, swiffering, cooking and vacuuming all the time now. It’s total crap. I actually wouldn’t mind the vacuuming so much if she gave me a REAL vacuum… but no….she has me using a toy vacuum. Who does she think she’s kidding?? I know I’m not actually picking up dirt. I’m just her pet monkey pushing around a little toy.
Listen up fellow 2 year olds; I have some great advice for you! Apparently there’s a rumor going around that once kids hit 2 years old, we start having tantrums and other irritating behaviors. I am not going to succumb to this stereotype. Tantrums and whining get you nowhere. I’ve seen my siblings whine. My mom is super tough. She just ignores them. If they continue, she sends them to their room. My brother and sister are such idiots.
Here’s a secret for you. I have an ADDICTION. It’s to cookies. I don’t just want them….I NEED COOKIES! I have learned that whining and tantrums do not work. What you have to do is look really cute, smile and say, “Cookie Pweese!” More often than not this works. If you ask for more than one in an hour though; this tactic may not work. My mom becomes a total liar and says, “the cookies are all gone honey.” Seriously, who does she think she’s dealing with? I know she’s lying! Unfortunately calling her out on lying is not a good choice either, so I go with Plan B. This plan requires you to feign a headache. To feign a headache you simply put your hands up to your forehead and say “cooooookieeee” in a low moaning voice. Do NOT confuse this with whining. Whining has a high pitch to it. Keep your voice low and pathetic…almost like you’re dying. My mom falls for this every time! I think she can sympathize with headaches…she gets them all of the time when my brother and sister whine.
Well, I guess that’s all for today. Mom says I have to go take a “birthday” nap. Naps are so dumb. I have better things to do. I’ve been trying for the last year to figure out how to open up all of the doors. I’ve almost got it. I just need a little more time and I’ll be able to break FREE!!!
I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about me in the future when my mom writes more on here. If she mentions anything about me having tantrums or bad behavior….Don’t believe it!!! Remember she’s a complete liar. I know we have a fully stocked cupboard of cookies! On that note, also give me the heads up if my mom mentions anything about taking me to “cookie rehab.” I think I’m skating on thin ice with this addiction. Every time she says we’re going to the grocery store, I get a sick feeling in my stomach that “grocery store” might actually be code for rehab facility. I think I better get this addiction thing under control before she does something drastic.
Bye!!! See Ya!!! I Lub You!!!

That is adorable. He favors my Prince Charming when he was two. I have a picture of him in a high chair that looks very similar to your little one. Dark hair, big dark eyes, sweet little smile. He was a bundle of energy then, and he still pretty much is. His tantrums didn’t really start until he was 3, and he still has them. 😦 Next year, he may be off at college. What will I do without him?
Thank you!! Yes, my most trying years with my other kids were when they were 3 years old too!! I’m crossing my fingers for one more “good” year before those tantrums kick in!!! LOL
Omg!!! How CUTE!!!!
Thank you so much!
This is so awesome! Great start to my day!
Thanks!!! I’m glad you liked it!!!
so cute! I always insist that I know exactly what my baby is thinking when he does stuff too and you captured it all! 🙂
haha!!! Thank you!!
How cute! He will LOVE reading this someday! 🙂
Thank you! He will either hate me or love it!!!
Oh My God…Hilarious!!! Such a cutie:)
Thank you so much!!
Toooooo cute! Happy Birthday Cesar from a fellow youngest third child!
Thank you! I was the youngest of three too!! We’re a little spoiled right???!!!
Perhaps a smidge. 😉
Our third and fourth children are a little more spoiled around the edges than the older two also. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve figured out as a parent that some things aren’t as important as I thought or if I’m just too tired to fight any longer. LOL!
Cute or what! you had me in stitches, loving your blog. xxxxxx
Oh!!! Thank you so much for reading!!! LOL
SO CUTE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CESAR! We all ‘lube’ you; you are a great writer!
haha!!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is the sweetest blog ever. ps. Happy Birthday Cesar!
Thank you and thank you!!!!
Happy Birthday, Cesar! So cute! And such great writing from a 24-month-old prodigy! 🙂
Also, happy 2 year anniversary of his birth to you, Mama!
LOL!!! Oh, thank you so much!!
Happy Birthday, Cesar! You’re a little doll!
Thank you!!!
What a cutie! Hope his birthday was fun, and that “2” is a great year!
Thank you!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!! haha!!
Cesar, you are too cute! My dog has a bit of advice on the addiction front. You see, he is addiction to his tennis ball. He tries to tread a fine line between enthusiasm, addiction and becoming a pest. When he becomes a pest, his ball gets taken away completely and he gets cold turkey withdrawal, which is very painful!! His solution is to be nice to visitors. They find him too cute to resist and they don’t know who else has thrown the ball for him that day either. I’d start smiling at Grandma if I were you. Grandmas can forget just how many cookies you’ve had and don’t seem to mind sending you back home high on sugar and goodness knows how many artificial colours. Grandmas have to be the weakest link! Go for it!
I am laughing so hard right now, there’s tears in my eyes!!! Your dog does sound exactly like Cesar. Cesar has learned to PLAY Grandma! My husband (who is actually no better than Grandma) and I have scolded Grandma plenty of times for spoiling the kids but she doesn’t listen!! I’ve never heard anyone refer to Grandma as the “weakest link” before but that is exactly what I am going to start calling her!!! LOL!!!!
Aw. Happy Birthday little man!
Thank you!!! He had a great birthday!
you’re killing me!!! this is just too funny and to cute!
haha!!! Thank you!! This was a fun one to write! It’s funny because I wrote this only a month ago and at the time Cesar was easy going and didn’t give me any problems. Presently, he is in full terrible two mode…falling on the floor in fits!! How quickly it all falls apart!!! LOL!!!

Love this guest post. So cute! I can totally identify with the markers – way more permanent. Who doesn’t like tiger-striped kids?
