Well, it looks as if we have hit the "Terrible Twos" in our little household. Technically Grace is only 20 months old, but it would appear she's got the whole two-year-old thing down pat. Complete with tantrums, excessive crying, saying "no" a lot, and she has now learned the dreaded word "mine". She's actually the worst behaved for me yet wants "Mama" all the time, which pretty much sums up motherhood I suppose. I'm finding that I'm talking myself out of many social situations (ie. shopping, restaurants, playdates, etc) for fear of what kind of public meltdown I may encounter. While I know this isn't healthy, it's sometimes, well, easier. I'm not sure if I just blocked from my memory when Dylan was this age, but I'm pretty sure he was not nearly as headstrong as this little girl. And deep down, I know this too shall pass. But in the meantime there is lots of wine being consumed!
On a brighter note, she does bring a lot of fun and joy into our lives. She's vibrant, silly, inquisitive, and tries her best to be helpful. And, who could resist that sweet smile of hers! Luckily she's awfully cute and wins us over after her meltdowns!
Gotta love parenthood huh?
