Toddler Tantrums
As soon as Evie left the boys just laughed as they thought it was hilarious how overprotective and crazy Evie was acting and they thought she was just over reacting. It couldn't be that hard to keep a two year old entertained for a day. "So should we wake her up now or wait a bit?" Carlos asked Jay as he looked at the sleeping toddler.
Before Jay could respond they heard a small squeaky voice call out. "Mommy?" the tiny girl called out sleepily as she looked around in confusion not seeing Evie, but instead her two older brothers that she wasn't that close to. She began to cry when she realized that Evie wasn't in the room at all and she wanted her.
The two boys just looked at each other not knowing what to do. They weren't used to crying and emotions. That was usually Evie's department, but Evie wasn't here and that was the reason she was crying. "You get her. I'm not good with feelings and crying," Jay told Carlos as he pushed him towards the crib, so he could calm down the crying two year old.
Carlos just looked at Jay with a glare as he didn't know how to deal with that either. He just took a deep breath as he picked up the crying toddler. "Hey there Mal. It's me Carlos , your big brother. Evie had to go out. She will be back later tonight, but that means you get to spend the whole day with your cooler big brothers," Carlos told the toddler trying to get her to stop crying it didn't work though as it only made her cry more.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! I wan mommy! I wan mommy! I no wan you! I wan mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" the tiny girl screamed and cried out as she threw a tantrum wanting Evie to come back. The boys just covered their ears from the loud screaming.
"Dude, make her stop," Jay told Carlos as his ears were hurting from the tiny girl screaming and crying. Carlos just looked at Jay with an annoyed and frustrated look. "I'm trying, but she won't calm down. You try it's your turn I'm not doing everything we both agreed to this," Carlos told the older boy in annoyance as Jay was making him do everything when they both agreed to do it.
Jay just groaned as he looked at the screaming girl. "Hey Mal stop this. No more screaming. Stop acting like a baby. Evie isn't coming back until later and you can't just cry and scream for her. We are staying the whole day and that isn't changing. Now stop throwing your tantrum," Jay screamed at the young girl as he was frustrated and didn't realize that he couldn't talk to a toddler like that. He was so used to the older Mal. The one who would never be afraid of some screaming and in fact would fight back, but this wasn't the same Mal.
She was a two year old girl who didn't like yelling. The yelling scared her. Mal just looked at Jay who was yelling at her. He was scaring her and she needed safety. She just cried more as she grabbed her dragon and made a mad dash under Evie's bed and crawled as far back as she could, so that Jay couldn't get to her.
Carlos just looked at Jay in anger. "Dude what is wrong with you? You can't talk to a toddler like that. You scared her. Great now how are we supposed to get her out. There is no way either of us could fit under there," Carlos told Jay in anger as he walked towards the bed and realized that it was too small for them to fit under and she was too far back for them to reach her.
Jay just looked at Carlos feeling guilty as he had seen how scared he made the tiny girl. He didn't mean to scare her. He just wanted to make her stop screaming and crying. Being stern with her used to work. He forgot that he was talking to a baby and not a sixteen year old girl. He just walked towards the bed and bent down, so that he could talk to the scared little girl. "Hey Mal I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Can you please just come out from under the bed and we can go get something to eat. Are you hungry Mal?" Jay told the toddler in his calm voice trying to calm the scared girl and get her out from under the bed.
He smiled when the girl carefully crawled out from under the bed as she looked at him and Carlos. Carlos just walked over to the scared girl and picked her up. "Hey Mal it's okay. Jay is sorry for being mean to you. And I know that you want Evie, but Evie really needed to go somewhere. Please just give this a try. We are only going to be here for today and then Evie will be back and you will never have to stay with just us again unless you want to," Carlos told the toddler as he tried to calm her and convince her to let them watch her.
Mal just smiled a bit as she looked at her older brother who was holding her. "Otay bu owny fo tobay. Can I wa tb?" The toddler asked her big brothers with her cute little smile. The boys just looked at the toddler not knowing what to say. Evie told them that she couldn't watch TV, but she was just too cute and they wanted her to trust them. They were conflicted on what to do.
Jay just looked at the time and then at the toddler. "Hey Mal um maybe later, but for now it's breakfast time. Come on let's go eat some breakfast," Jay told the toddler as he picked her up trying to change the subject. Carlos just looked at Jay like he was crazy when he saw Jay heading towards the door. "Um Jay, Mal is still in pajamas. We can't take her out without getting her dressed. Evie would kill us if we allowed her to go out in pjs," Carlos told the older boy as he knew how much Evie cared about fashion and being presentable. She would totally flip if they took the toddler out with her messy hair and in her pajamas.
Jay just sighed as he was hungry, but what Carlos said was true. "Fine here you change her and I'll go get our food, so we can just eat here. It will be easier that way," Jay told his little brother as he handed the toddler to him and left towards the dinning hall to go get food as he was hungry and he couldn't wait anymore to eat something. And he prefered to be around as few people as possible with the toddler.
Before Carlos could respond Jay had already taken off. He just sighed as he looked at the toddler. "Okay Mal let's get you in some clothes for the day. How does that sound?" Carlos told the toddler as he placed her on the ground and went towards her clothes to pick out an outfit for her.
The toddler just giggled as she clapped her hands excitedly. Carlos looked over at the clothes having no clue what went with what as he wasn't used to girly clothes. It was easier for him because he just wore his leather outfits which were already matching and you can easily tell went together. He just sighed as he looked at the clapping toddler.
He picked up a really girly pink dress and showed it to the two year old. The toddler just looked at it in disgust. "No," the toddler screamed out as she pushed it away. Carlos just sighed as he picked out a bunch more outfits and the two year old just kept pushing them away. He groaned in frustration as he had spent about an hour going through her clothes. "Okay fine. What do you want to wear Mal?" Carlos asked out in frustration as he was growing impatient with the tiny girl.
Mal just smiled as she pointed to a purple dress with a dragon on it. Carlos just rolled his eyes as he saw what she was pointing to. He was feeling so stupid. He forgot that Mal being a toddler didn't change her love for purple and dragons. Even if she wasn't Maleficent's real kid she was still obsessed with those things.
He just picked up the toddler and the outfit and took her into the bathroom to change her and get her ready. When he was finished he set her down on the floor and looked at the time. It was almost lunch time and Jay was still not back yet. He had left about an hour or two ago. Just as Carlos was about to call him Jay came in with a bag of food.
Carlos just gave Jay an annoyed look. "Dude what took you so long? It's practically lunch time right now," Carlos told the older boy in frustration as he was hungry and upset that Jay had left him alone with the two year old for almost two hours.
Jay just gave the younger boy an apologetic shrug. "Dude the line was long. It's not my fault and we can just eat breakfast for lunch," Jay told his brother like it was no big deal as he set the food down on the table. Carlos just sighed as he was too hungry to argue with the older boy. He just sat down at the table next to Jay after he placed the toddler in her high chair.
While the boys were eating their breakfast/lunch Mal was just playing with her food not wanting to eat it since there weren't any strawberries. Jay just sighed when he saw the toddler just playing with her food and not eating it. "Mal stop playing with your food and eat it," Jay told the small girl. Mal just started banging her hands on the highchair and throwing a fit. "No I no wike dis. I wan sawbewys. I no wan dis," the toddler screamed out as she pushed her food away from her. Jay just sighed as he looked at the pouting toddler. "Mal I don't care if you don't like it. You are going to eat this anyway," Jay told the toddler in frustration as she was refusing to eat her food.
The toddler just pushed the food further away. "I no wan dis. I no wike id. I wan sawbewy! I wan sawbewy! I wan sawbewy!" The toddler screamed out as she continued to bang her tiny fists on the highchair. Jay just got up as he was about to lose it and he was afraid of doing something he would regret. "Carlos, you deal with her. I can't do this. I'm about to get really frustrated and you won't want to see that," Jay told the younger boy as he got up and walked away from the toddler taking deep breaths and trying to calm himself.
Carlos just sighed as he walked over to the screaming toddler. "Hey Mal come on stop this please. Please just eat your food. Your mommy wants you to eat. And they were out of strawberries so you are just going to have to make do without them. I'm sorry Mal, but there are no strawberries. Just please eat your food," Carlos told the upset girl hoping that it would stop her crying and she would agree to eat her food.
Mal just looked at the older boy. "No I no wan dis! I no ea dis!" the small girl screamed out refusing to eat the food. Carlos just took a deep breath as he tried again. "Mal look at me. You are going to eat this food. You can either eat it on your own and be a big girl or you can have me spoon feed you like a baby. You decide Mal because you are eating this food," Carlos told the toddler as he was growing sick of her tantrums and if Mal didn't eat her food Evie would kill them since she was still freaking out about Mal's weight and size.
Carlos just sighed when the toddler still just refused to eat her food. He just grabbed her fork and began to spoon feed her the food. It was still a lot of trouble as the toddler kept refusing to open her mouth, but eventually Carlos managed to get her to eat all her food.
Carlos just sighed as he was not expecting it to be that hard to get her to eat her food. When she was done eating he took her out of her highchair and placed her in the crib. "Okay Mal so that was basically lunch which means it's nap time," Carlos told the toddler as he was trying to follow Evie's orders not wanting her to be mad at him.
Mal just grabbed onto the side of her crib and started bouncing refusing to listen to him. "Mal it's nap time, and you know how Evie feels about you jumping in your crib," Carlos told the small girl as he tried to stop her from jumping in the crib remembering how upset Evie got last time.
The small girl just smiled as she continued to jump ignoring Carlos. "No sweepy! I wanna pway! I wanna pway! I wanna pway!" The hyper girl screamed out as she continued to bounce in her crib. Carlos just took a deep breath as he looked over at Jay. "Jay it's your turn. You make her take her nap. I got her dressed and I got her to eat. It's your turn to help out with something," Carlos told Jay as he was growing frustrated that he was doing all the work and he honestly just wanted to quit right now.
This was way too hard. Jay just sighed as he walked over to the tiny girl in the crib. "Mal it's nap time. You can play after your nap. Now go to sleep," Jay told the toddler as he was so sick of her fighting everything they told her to do. The toddler just looked at him as she kept bouncing.
"No! I no sweepy an I wan mommy! I wan mommy! I wan mommy! I miss mommy! I miss mommy! I no wan you! You no wike mommy! Mommy bewer dan you!" The two year old screamed out as she kept bouncing in her crib. She didn't like Jay and Carlos watching her and she wanted Evie back. She was hoping that if she screamed and cried enough then her mommy would come home. She didn't like the way that Carlos and Jay were acting with her. They were always yelling at her and she wanted her mommy who was kind and gentle with her.
The boys both just covered their ears as the toddler's screams were way too loud and hurting their ears again. "Dude I can't do this. She won't stop crying and she won't listen to a thing we say," Jay told Carlos as he had already given up. Carlos just looked at Jay as he too felt that same way.
"I know she screams and fights at everything we do. I don't know how Evie does this and makes it look so easy. She made me spend an hour picking out an outfit and if it wasn't right she screamed. She wouldn't eat her food and now she won't stop jumping in her crib and she won't take a nap. I can't do this. I say we quit. I can't last another few hours doing this. Let's just call Evie and tell her she wins," Carlos told Jay as he was done. He was so tired and stressed he just wanted to quit and go back to his dorm and play some video games instead of watching the tiny toddler who wouldn't stop acting bad.
Jay smiled as he grabbed his phone and immediately called Evie. Evie picked up right away as if she was expecting the call. "Evie you were right okay. We can't do this. She won't stop crying and we quit. Please just come back now. You win and we lose. Please we can't stand this any longer. This is torture and I don't get how you do this everyday," Jay told Evie in his desperate voice as he wanted her to come back and deal with the screaming toddler.
Evie just smiled as she responded to the upset boy. "So you finally admit that looking after a child is hard? And you guys will finally stop making fun of me and teasing me for how I chose to raise Mal?" Evie asked the boy with a mischievous smile as she knew that she had finally gotten her payback.
The boys both answered at the same time wanting the nightmare to be over. "Yes we agree looking after a kid is way harder than we thought and we promise to never again mock you or tease you for how you parent because we honestly have no clue how you manage to do it without completely losing it," the boys both screamed out as they had put the phone on speaker phone.
Evie smiled as she had finally taught the boys a lesson. "Okay good. We're actually on our way back now. I think you're forgetting that I told you I have cameras. We saw this and we had already decided to start heading back. Now give Mal the phone I want to talk to her. I miss my little girl," Evie told the boys as she had enjoyed a break away from the toddler, but now she was missing the tiny girl more than ever.
The boys immediately handed the phone to the toddler wanting her to hear Evie's voice, so she would stop freaking out. As soon as Mal heard Evie's voice from the phone she stopped jumping and screaming. "Mommy! I miss you mommy! I wan you ba mommy!" The toddler told Evie through the phone. Evie just smiled as she enjoyed hearing the tiny girl's voice again.
"Hey there Mal. I'm on my way home and I will be there soon. Now can you please take a nap for mommy, and as soon as you wake up I will be back home," Evie told the toddler as she knew the boys had failed, but she still needed the toddler to nap. Mal just smiled as she laid down in her crib. "Weawy! Otay mommy I go nigh nigh now. I wob you mommy," the toddler told Evie as she closed her eyes and fell asleep with her dragon.
The boys both just looked at the toddler in disbelief. They had been trying to get her to nap, but all it took was Evie to tell her to sleep. Evie laughed as she saw the shocked faces of her brothers through her camera screens. "And that is how you get a toddler to take her nap," Evie told the boys with a smile. "What are you serious? She just listens to you with no screaming or fighting. This is so unfair," Carlos told Evie as he couldn't believe that the toddler just did what Evie said without crying or screaming.
Evie smiled as she loved hearing and seeing the boys in shock. "Oh well you know she just loves me and she clearly doesn't trust you guys. Anyway I have to go we're pulling up now," Evie told the boys. A few minutes later Evie came back into the dorm with a huge smirk on her face. "Oh wow I still can't believe you guys couldn't even last past lunch time. Oh well now I get to be with my baby girl again," Evie told the boys as she practically kicked them out wanting to spend time with her baby sister as she had missed her so much.
She then walked over to the crib and picked up the sleeping toddler holding her to her and smiling when the small girl began to stir. "Mommy? Mommy! You ba mommy! Pwease neber weabe me aben mommy!" The tiny girl told Evie as she held onto her. Evie just smiled as she held the tiny adorable girl closer to her. "I promise baby girl I will never leave you with our brothers ever again. They clearly have no clue how to look after a child," Evie told her sister as she rocked her back and forth and sang to her putting the tiny girl back into her sleep. She smiled as she watched the tiny girl sleep on her as she loved having a little sister who loved her so dearly that she only wanted to be with her.
