Sometimes having a blog is the best thing ever for parenting. Because Michael is acting crazy today. Kuh-Ray-Ay-Zee. He grabs empty cups off the counter, but throws himself to the ground when I give him a drink. He grabs for a fork out of the drawer but throws himself screaming to the floor when I help him reach. He wants to eat, but he spits it out. He grabs a yogurt out of the fridge and hands it to me...then shakes in rage when I hand it back to him opened up.
Is he insane? Or is it just the approaching 2's? Unfortunately, I don't have much documentation of Lily at this age...I had a newborn, if you'll recall.
But thank heavens my blogging goes back to when Andrew was this age. I present...Michael the first version:
Andrew at 22 months
I will survive. The only difference is now I also have a Kuh-Ray-Ay-Zee 3 year old added to the mix. Imagine if you will today's scene at lunch...Andrew stealing Lily's night-night to make her scream, Lily's screaming because her night-night is facing the wrong direction (not looking at the table like her), and Michael screaming because he wants a drink, but not any of the drinks that are available.
I should have asked for earplugs for Christmas.

Yeah, I have one approaching 2 and that sounds VERY familiar! (also have one approaching 3... yipes)
You anticipated this a long time ago. So HERE we go....... Welcome to the fun year ahead.
Crap.
THANK YOU for writing this today because G, who is 27 months now, is fracking INSANE!!!!
N was never like this until she hit 3, or 3 and a half.
It is killing me. He doesn't know what he wants. He cries and whines ALL.THE.TIME.
So I appreciate the laugh from your Andrew at 22 months post and that someone besides me is going through this shit.
Or a nanny. Then you could go for a walk while she dealt with the schizophrenic child. But then again, earplugs are cheaper and easier to trust :)
