The Terrible/Not So Terrible Twos...

First off, who decided at age two our little angels turned "terrible" becuase in all actuallity our started around 15 months (LOL).
We have recently came across and new hurdle and are trying so hard to over come it. The dreaded wont sleep in his own bed (don don don). It started as him waking up early (around 5ish) so we would just throw him in bed with us until time to wake up. Then it got more and more often and into the middle of the night. For a while if you put him back in bed he was fine.
We recently started getting serious with it and now every night is a struggle...got some good tips from friends and family, doctors and websites (yes, i did call the doctor) so we shall see!

First off, who decided at age two our little angels turned "terrible" becaue ours started around 15 months. LOL.
what makes this age terrible - kicking and screaming in public, the inability to sit still in a resteraunt or anywhere, the cute but annoying "no" or like madden says, "no mommy" which makes it even more cuter. Lets not forget the "i wanna potty" which really means lets play in the potty or pretend i pottied so i can get an M&M. They get really clingy (which i kinda like so not so terrible unless i am trying to clean house which doesnt really happen either) and wont let you get anything done.

what makes this age amazing - the fact that they can return love and affection "i hug you" or "I ove ewe." that their personality shows more and more each day and start to pretend with cars and trucks. Thier is such enthusiasm for certain things "oohhhh" and "yeah!!" now whether its good or bad its still awesome to watch thier wheels turning and actually have a thought or opinion about something. They can sing songs and participate (pat a cake), when we read books he can pick out things and name them, colors, names, shapes, etc.

So all in all this age is more amazing then terrible (dont ask me in the middle of the night though) and I cant wait for the next months, years and memories we get to share together!
