Who Screams Louder?

I don't know what it is about the age of 2, but it's like someone flips a switch and suddenly your baby is gone.  What you're left with is a screaming, demanding, "ugly cry"-ing child, the likes of whom you've never met before.

A turned down request for "Mowe miwk pdease Mommy" results in a sudden paralysis of his legs, causing a powerful collapse to the floor.  Also of note are the muscle spasms occurring in his face, loss of coherent speech and the incessant leaking of fluids from his eyes. 

Let's not even broach the subject of refusing to watch Home Alone 2 for the gazillionth time that day.  Yes, gazillionth...look it up.  Or the insanity that occurs when the tower he's just built using VHS and DVDs that stands taller than his 4 year old sister comes crashing to the ground.  (Side note, we clearly have far too many movies but I'm not willing to get rid of a single one of them.)

I love the 2's.  And we're only a week in.

  2. I'm training Brayden in the secret ways of the dark side. His first lesson was Screaming + Public Places beats patience 100% of the time.

    Ta!
