Trust

As weird as this may sound I really put a lot of trust in my 2 year old.
In the mornings I'm usually exhausted from not getting any sleep the night before, but Matty is a 2 year old and of course he wakes up early.
Usually. he gets up and goes straight to the living room, turns the light on and then gets into the cupboard with the movies.
As soon as I see the light on I get up and take whatever movie he's gotten out and put it back. I give him a bag of cereal and his cup and sit him on the couch and turn Disney Jr on and then I go back to bed.
I usually just lay in bed but every once in awhile I do get a little extra sleep and its so nice. Matty is well behaved and sits on the couch and eats his cereal and when he's done he throws the empty bag away and goes and plays with his toys. He's very quiet and I am very thankful for that.
This is a daily occurrence because its the only way I can function. He's even nice enough not to bother me unless he hurts himself or if he's still hungry. It's pretty awesome.

When it comes to me needing to shower.... this task is NOT easy with 2 kids.
When it was just Matty I would sit him on the floor of the bathroom and give him my phone and let him either watch a movie or play a game. Now that we have Kourtney too I can't really do that.
I've found that if I feed both of them and then hop in the shower everyone stays happy and I can actually shower in peace. It has to be quick obviously but at least its not because someone is screaming their head off. And this also means I usually don't get to shower til noon but a shower is a shower.....
Maybe it makes me a bad mom because I don't have my eyes on them every second of the day but I HAVE to shower. I can NOT go a day without showering. It absolutely grosses me out. So usually I put K in her jumper and put a movie or a show on that Matty likes and then I make a run for it. IF Kourtney starts crying Matty will give her the binky and its perfect because it gives me enough time in the shower.
What an awesome 2 year old! How many people can honestly say that they trust their 2 year old and don't worry about letting their eyes close or leaving the room for more than a minute?
There's not much Matty can get into that I would worry about.
He doesn't bother anything in the kitchen (he never has), he has no interest in the cat box (thank goodness), and there is nothing he can get to in my bedroom.

Of course he is still a normal 2 year old that throws ridiculous tantrums and doesn't always listen but when it comes down to it he is a good little boy and I am blessed.
Most days I don't know what I would do without all the helpful things he does for me. :)
He is such a good little boy and big brother.
We love him.

On a different note....
It's Friday the 13th.
So naturally everything that can go wrong
is going wrong.

THIS 

It's the car seat base to Matty's seat. We don't use it and I don't know why we keep it.
