The highly dreaded "terrible two's" has hit my sister's house in full force. Gone are the days when I could simply distract my niece with a cookie or a laugh. Now when you make Ady mad, it's a full blown, tears streaming, hair pulling, screaming fit. A few weeks ago, she wanted a cookie and her mother refused. Since she was already running on a sugar high, that was the only reason she needed to plop down on the kitchen floor and wail "wahh!"
Being the fun Aunt Ali that I am, I caved and tried to sneak her the cookie that she so obviously wanted. Oh no, that wasn't going to make her happy. It's the principle of the matter; it's the fact that we did not give her the cookie when she asked for it the first time. The plan to get her way lasted a while... she followed me around from room to room (just to make sure I was in listening range).
Her daddy was the only one who could calm her down. We did get some cute pictures from it though. Looks like we are in for quite an adventure this year!
XO Aunt Ali
