I am referring to the terrible twos. K3 has officially entered the realm of trouble maker. Yea. I'm soooooo excited.
First the good part. She's too young to lie. I hear her into something she isn't supposed to be into:
"Where are you?"
"What."
"Are you being naughty?"
"Yep."
"Come here."
"OK."
Pretty simple, really. For now anyway. Then there's the other scenario that happens a few times daily.
"Are your pants stinky?"
"Yep."
"OK, let's go change your diaper."
"Nope. RUN!!"
And it's off the the races for a few minutes. At least she's straight forward about it - like I said, she can't lie....yet. I don't recall when the older siblings 'teach' that one. It'll be here all too soon, I am certain of that.
Now the bad part.
We'll be there, in trouble-maker mode, for a good 18 to 24 mos. Yeah, 'they' don't tell you that part when you 'sign up' for parenthood. Terrible twos isn't 12 mos. long. It starts early and ends late. And why don't 'they' tell you this? It isn't like we wouldn't sign up anyway. But lets just be a bit more honest about it, shall we?
It stinks.
It's funny. I'll be needing to beef up my stoic face because I just burst out into laughter all too easily when I'm not supposed to. For me, truly, it's best if I just turn around and hide my face. I'd best get ready.
And the good part for you? You'll be hearing all about it right here. So fasten your seat belts - 2009 should be a good ride!

Ahh yes the terrible twos! Don't you just wish you could click the fast forward on lifes remote control. But maybe not-- you would miss to much laughter!
Nope, I wouldn't fast forward this for anything. Frustrating as it is... it is still fun to witness.
