Did someone forget to tell me about a switch that's flipped when your child turns two? The day Macie turned two, she acquired this new high pitched squeal/whine that's accompanied by a "nah nah nah" (no, no, no). She suddenly is protesting bed time, and she gets out of bed and slams her door a few times before finally going back to her bed. Let's not forget the kid that used to like brushing her teeth, and did it very well on her own.....not anymore. Now teeth brushing consists of me holding her head in my elbow, kind of like a headlock, and forcing the brush in her mouth. Good times.
Two can play this game, and that is why today she has said "all done Mama", and "cookie please". Woo hoo!!!! It's all about standing my ground, and suffering through the whining! She doesn't need expensive therapy, I DO!
I know, I know.....Welcome to parenthood and the "terrible twos", right???
