At the moment every day seems like the longest day. We are well and truly stuck in the throws of the terrible twos. I know it's just a phase. I have a hazy memory about how awful the other two were. However, on a day to day basis I feel as if I'm stuck in a Groundhog Day filled with stomping and screaming. And that's just me!
The reason we have so many tantrums at the moment is shown in this picture. Little man has a desire to run everywhere. Walking is clearly not as much fun. Most of the time this is fine. However, combine this with 3.15 school pick up, a need to cross roads and an absolute meltdown occurs. I am the meanest, most evil of Mummies, as I dare to insist that he must hold my hand to cross the road. The only good thing is that my day is longer than little man's and come 7 o'clock his day is over. Ready for an early wake up call and more tantrums tomorrow.
It's all coming back to me now! Although it was more like the terrible threes in our house! Keep chasing him...
ReplyDeleteThis looks like what we are going through right now with our 2 year old Olivia too. I cannot remember the same with my older daughter, but hoping this be be over soon.
ReplyDeleteYes - I remember days like these, and hang onto the thought that in about 10 years time I won't be able to move my 3girls anywhere!!
ReplyDeleteBless him, I don't envy you! Here's hoping the tantrum days will be over for you soon.
ReplyDeleteBless, so cute and tantrums are a nightmare x
ReplyDeleteIt could well go into that....
ReplyDeleteIt is hard work isn't it!
ReplyDeletehmmmm I suppose he is cute. Sometimes.....
ReplyDeleteSo do I x
ReplyDeleteGosh I don't miss the terrible twos but I found the threes worse. They know what they want don't they? Until they don't LOL! I hope it passes quickly!
ReplyDeleteWe skipped the terrible twos, the frightful threes made up for it though!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSome would say he is showing confidence and independence! :-) Annoyingly optimistic people!
ReplyDelete:-) He is VERY independent - more than middle man
ReplyDeleteso do I x
ReplyDeleteOh man, I do NOT envy you this! Exhausting. You can never ever truly relax as they could take flight at any moment.
ReplyDeleteIt is a phase and it will pass; you've just got to hope the next phase is slightly less tiring!
It is so scary - he ran into a car park the other morning as I kissed big man goodbye at the school gate. Yes I have come to realise that kids go through a lot of phases x
