Why are two's so terrible? Contrary to this cute little picture, I'll give you a few reasons why: He gets into my makeup, lotion and lip-gloss...daily.
He is caught drawing on the kitchen table sans a coloring book.
He escapes the house and runs his fanny down the street any time the front door opens.
He wipes his soapy hands all over the bathroom mirror....for fun.
When you ask him to bring you something he tosses it to you and says, "Go fetch!"
After he successfully steals his brother toys, he purposely drops them behind the couch (about 5 times a day)....for fun.
He throws tantrums for not getting to wear his flannel monkey jammies to bed every night. Same thing with those yellow boots you all know about.
He drops food on the floor...for fun.
He is a nuisance at the park on most days for throwing sand, pushing innocent kids and being a bully.
He dumps pitchers full of water out of the bathtub...for fun.
He doesn't eat regular meals, he has his own special diet complete with fruit snacks, fishies, string cheese, pop tarts and lemonaid.

And my current favorite (dripping with sarcasm), every other word is poo, toot, and poop. No really. Every. Other. Word.
Please!! Make it STOP!
Okay, so I think I may be a little at fault. He is so stinkin' cute to me. I try and get mad, and I do, trust me, I do, but the minute I turn around I sometimes laugh. What else can you do? Sometimes laughing is all I can do in place of selling him on the street corner to anyone who'll take him. And I think he sees me laughing. And then he does all those terrible things again and yells "poop" even louder.
According to a Terrible Twos Countdown Calendar I found on the Internet, I have 282 days -12 hours- 31 minutes - and 6 seconds until my child is out of the terrible twos phase.
Kill me now.

What a cute little stinker.
And I pray that its not the case for you but 3's were so much worse with my Ella, but maybe thats just a girl thing?
I don't remember how Dax was at three, compared to two, but Isaac is soooo much worse at three. And your countdown concerns me....it's putting the "terrible twos" into the third year anyway. Yikes! He is a cutie though.
Oh man! That calculator was way off! I don't know what happened but I fixed it. Thanks Nic! But so far, not so much encouragment from you guys! Anyone....words of advice?
I love that Wyatt tells you to "go fetch" That's a crack up! Gabs was worse at three too, but Gwen has grown up quite a bit from two. I'm sure Wyatt will grow out of it. My advice- Repeat a thousand times a day "this too shall pass. This too shall pass" They won't be like this forever, he'll get over it...one day!
Oh Bryn....Sorry, but I am right there with everyone else. 3's are so much worse then 2's. But I did read that their behaviors come in waves/patterns. A few great weeks followed by a few horrible weeks and repeat.
He will grow out of it...in the mean time...such a cutie to look at!
I would have to agree with having a hard time saying no or holding back a smile! I just smile everytime I look at him! He is so cute!!!! Sure miss you alot! Hope two's go fast and hope three's are harder! LOVE and MISS YOU!!!!
Oh Bryn, you are a busy mother. I am hoping the 2's will go away soon also but then it just means he is getting bigger and growing up and that makes me sad. I wish they could stay little and not get into so much. That would be ideal for me. Let's get together soon and have the boys play.
How is it that boys can be a stinker one moment and then melt your heart the next? This is a phase that will pass. Don't forget our motto: "Be kind to yourelf!" I seriously tell myself that every day! You are a wonderful mother! I would love to be your kid any day! :)
Yes, but that cute, adorable little stinker is such a sweet, tender little gentleman with baby Ellie!
