Got it!
Bubby has entered the terrible twos, according to Megan. His favorite phrase has become "I got it, I got it, I got it!" chanted steadily to let Megan, Preston or any other adult know that they best not interfere with Bubby's attempt to get into his car seat himself, put on his shoes himself, throw away the garbage himself, spray the patio himself. Yep, Bubby's got it.
That, of course, is quickly followed by -- sometimes in the same day -- tears, whines and upheld arms accompanying the plea to Megan to "cuddle? cuddle?"
Not so terrible, if you ask me.
And not so different, I believe, from how most of us feel on any given day. I know this grandma certainly has her share of "I got it, I got it, I GOT it!" moments often followed by the need to just cuddle and let someone else take care of any business at hand. Sometimes in the same day.
Nope, not so terrible at all.
Got it?

Yep, fun and games time is just starting for Megan and Preston but they still have a beautiful little cuddle bunny.
He is absolutely precious -- lucky you!!
Yup... I often think I got it... and then realize I'd like a hug!
My mom always tells the story of my sister mimicking her saying, "in a minute." My mom said it when my sister lacked patience, but then sis started dishing it back. Pick up your toys. In a minute. Come here. In a minute.
I rather like "got it" in comparison. :)
I'm intimately familiar with this phase of toddlerhood. Mine says "I'll do it!" And when it doesn't work and she needs help, she starts crying because you didn't help her in the EXACT MOMENT she realized she needed assistance.
But she cuddles me in the morning while we watch Sesame Street, so it's cool.
Yep, I got it!
Yep...like you, I feel like Bubby almost every single day. All day long, it's "I got it!" and then as soon as I get home, it's "cuddle?" Like you said, not so bad.
