My youngest is two, and lately everyday I have to remind myself that there is something called the terrible two’s. First, she went through -the getting in everything stages, then –the saying NO to everything. Now, she has turned into this whinny little brat if she doesn’t get what she wants. She is really a challenge for me. Overall she is a good girl, but it’s when she gets sleepy she turns into this little monster. I love her to death and I can’t wait to she turns three.lol. You probably want believe this story but it is true. It’s one of those stories where you just had to be there.
One evening we were at my mothers house for dinner, and this had only been my mothers second time seeing her granddaughter. We had just come home from Italy and my daughter was a little over two months old. My mother was just so excited to see her granddaughter so, she stayed in her face allot. While my mother was holding the baby she began to cry so my husband walked over to her and picked here up. My mother said in a serious tone (even though she was playing) “well forget you then, get out my house, I didn’t want to hold you anyway.” My daughter then squeezes her lips tight, and her eyes went cross eyed as she tried to focus on my mother and yelled out ahhh in a high pitched voice. It scared the crap out of me. So, my mother said to her ” oh so your going to yell at me” and she squeezed those lips again and said ahhh in that same tone. This time I started crying “what is wrong with my baby” I said, and my mother said “wow! She has an attitude all ready.” I was thinking do I need to take her to the hospital? I had never in my life witnesses anything like that. I thought something was wrong with my baby. How in the world was she trying to argue with someone? She was exactly two months and one week old. If someone would have told me this, I wouldn’t have believed them. I’m telling you she really did act this way.
Can you imagine what kind of terrible two I have? P.S I wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything in the world. J
