We just celebrated our little munchkin's 2nd birthday not too long ago, and I still couldn't believe that she is officially 2 years old.
When I was pregnant (which still seems like yesterday) I always heard mothers say "Oh my god, when my son/daughter hit the terrible two phase, it was like a huge nightmare! So enjoy being pregnant because when they're out, they're harder to take care of, and watch out when they turn 2!" After hearing the same thing over and over, I just decided to ignore what they have said and told myself that terrible twos is just a myth...
OR SO I THOUGHT!!!!!...
Now that she is more independent and knows how to say "NO" when she doesn't get her way-OMG! she can throw the biggest hissy fits. Just this morning, when it was time to change her pull-ups, she cried, screamed, banged her head on the floor and kicked me because I pulled her bottoms, and she wasn't in the mood to get her pull ups changed. I was so frustrated, I almost cried. Does this mean that I am a bad parent because I don't know how to control my own child? (sigh). Well I don't know the answer to that...They were right, it was a huge nightmare, and I find myself so helpless during these episodes.
What just happened to my gorgeous baby? She developed from being so cute and always happy into a fiend of mischief overnight.
I guess I'll just have to consider this as a learning curve. But for now, Oh please fairy god of motherhood, give me more patience and luck ;-)
