How to be 22 month old

Say no, not because you mean it, but because it's funny.
Repeat: Noooo. Noohhhhh. No.
Be delighted by small things.
Spontaneously kiss the ones you love.
Refuse to look at those who disappoint.
Be wary of the wind.

Hide. Be found. Hide again.
Walk bottomless throughout the house.
Practice closing your eyes remembering to squeeze them tight.
Giggle until you roll over.
Read books about alligators or cars or better, alligators AND cars.
Live for today.
Run. Whenever possible, run.

Beautiful. Mine are 3 and 1/2 and I totally identify. You would have to mention dinosaurs though... they LOOVE dinosaurs.

I´ve been doing my best to live like that for 27 years now. Minus the bottomless house-running and the limiting variety of books. ; )
