crap. It's happened. I had a baby, then a toddler. Now I have a terrible two. Looking forward to it. No really. I can handle this. I just have to think 2 steps ahead of a 2 year old. I can do this.

Mommy needs a drink.

Today: she didn't want to go to the park. Say park and you get "NNNOOOoooooooooo". Okay. Get home, get snack. She wants to sit on the potty and read. It was 5 O'clock... and she wants t o go to the park. and it's 3T: Tears and Tantrum Time.  Hun... you gotta eat in like half hour, park just aint happening. I mean it's mostly my fault: I have to think of a different way of handling things. She is happy now, watching Pablo (Backyardigans) before dinner.

But I reiterate.

Mommy needs a drink.

Ahhh, trying to "train" a 2 year old makes everyone need a drink. She will test you to the limit, but you MUST win. Every time!

I have 3 kids, the bad news is that it will last till 3.5 years. The good news is Canadian beer is stronger than here in the US.

Enjoy it now. It's worse when they're 4. Has she started hitting or kicking yet? That's always fun.

At 4 you get asked "Why?" for every single thing in the world.

We used popsicles. Give her the whole thing or cut it off the stick into a bowl. Let her suck on the nice cold popsicle. Should feel great if teathing.
