Signs Of The Terrible Two's

1. Milk splattered against three out of four walls in the morning.
2. Goldfish strewn down the stairs
3. UFO's (aka full dinner plates) flying though the air with such precision as the Olympic Discus throw.
4. Screams of displeasure which measure at decibels to be heard not only throughout the entire neighborhood but probably also on Jupiter.
5. Stomping and kicking with such force as to believe you are in the midst of a stampede on the African plain
6. The word NO uttered more times than you can count
7. A migraine the size of Texas
8. Heaven's phones ringing off the hook with requests for this to please end swiftly and a little less painfully

Here come some gray hairs! And the 2s are coming at such a "perfect" week. How does 3 year old preschool sound right about now?

I know! Hopefully it won't last too long. The other boys weren't like this. They had a bit of a rough 3rd yr, but nothing like this!

Yeah, our boys had a rough time at the beginning of 3. M was 2 as well, and didn't last long (although it felt like it during it!) - it must be a 3rd child thing!

We should get Sean and Katie together. It would be hysterical to see who could throw the biggest tantrum. I really think Katie would win...
She threw a fit today because her balloon flower (made by a man on stilts, no less) was pink and purple instead of orange and yellow like Ellie's. And she cried when her cupcake didn't have sprinkles anymore.
Gotta love the 2's!!!!

One more thing--I hope you don't mind, but I'm stealing your crayon idea today. The girls will love it and I'll be sure to tell them that it was Auntie Danielle's idea. :) I miss you guys!
