My daughter just turned two in july...what a change in her I saw from about 18 months till now...The stuggle for independance that happens at this age can only be rivaled by teenage angst.No is her favorite answer to me.Explaining she isnt allowed to tell mommy no is like speaking to the wall.Im doing some potty training with her and she doesnt want my help with it much she wants to go on her own terms she wants to dress herself her fashion sense consist of her daddys socks pulled up to her thighs and pantys and this is how she wants to go bye-bye!Her mess making has gone way up too and she is FOREVER getting into the fridge or something else really messy.Im kinda used to the terrible twos after the other two and knowing Ill be going through it agian soon I have found its best taken with a grain of salt.Most of the stuff she does is cute.Her temper tantrums are not cute.I have found through shcool hours that when I wake her up early she will nap and go to bed more consistantly.I too look in her face and at the portriats on the wall and wonder where my baby went.She is definitly a lil monster but shes such a cute lil monster and shes mine with this in mind I am able to laugh through "most" of the hard times.
