The Boy and The Joe

The Joe: Daddy, I want to watch Transformers.

The Boy: No you don't Joey. Transformers stinks.

The Joe: It does not Michael. Daddy, I want to watch Transformers.

The Boy: No you don't Joey. You watch it too much. When you do something too much you won't like it anymore. That's what happened to me with grilled cheese sandwiches. I ate too many and now I don't like them anymore.

The Joe: Daddy, I want to watch Transformers.

The Terrible Twos

Joey Altobelli

The Terrible Twos are often characterized by oppositional behavior, mood changes, and temper tantrums. "No" becomes a favorite word. All are considered normal parts of child development, say the authors of "What to Expect: The Toddler Years." This is in part due to the fact that a toddler's ability to communicate hasn't caught up with his desire to communicate, hence his frustration and challenging behavior.

In some circles the Terrible Twos are also known as Joey Altobelli.

For me a perfect fall day is a visit to Johnson's Corner Farm with my kids. A trip out to the farm usually includes a hayride, pumpkin picking', petting zoo, and apple cider doughnuts. All of my kids have enjoyed a day out at Johnson's Farm and here's a few pictures to prove it.
