Terrible Two's Already?

I have no doubt our preacher was speaking directly to me this week . . .


Last week, Ross officially learned how to speak the word, "no!"
And, although a part of me knows this is perfectly normal and that all children go through this stage . . . the other part of me has been caught taking long, deep breathes (several times a day).

You'd think, being a former kindergarten teacher, I'd be well prepared for this . . . however, a 5 year old's brain and a 1 year old's brain aren't quite the same.

Yesterday I ordered this . . .

and this.
(Thanks, Lindsay!)

Of course, Grady laughs at me . . .
(Much like when he laughed at me for reading Babywise 4 times . . .
hmmm . . . though, I also seem to recall she was sleeping through the night at 10 weeks . . .)

Anyway. The point is, things are changing around here.

And, even though, I see a well behaved, sweet little girl most of the day . . .


We also have our moments . . .

I just don't believe it! However, you go ahead and try all these things out and tell me what works! ;)

lots of praise for good behaviors, plenty of distractions, and an occasional time-out have worked for bailey... but we still get caught in the occasional tantrum... i don't think there's any way to escape it
