I hate to say it.. but I think we're hitting the "terrible two's". uuggghhh... and it is EXHAUSTING. I ask myself, 'How could this little man, that I love so much, fight me and cry about EVERYTHING?' I just don't know! Even the FUN stuff! You just never know when it's coming or going to hit. One hour, all is great in Sean's world... the next hour, absolutely NOTHING is ok with Sean. I'm certain that there is no way that I was like this. Come on... I couldn't have been... Right? Ok, well probably not true (my mom would tell you many stories on the contrary). I'm sure that Mary would say that Steve was never like this... but I'm convinced that as a Mom, you start to have "selective memory". After all, if you asked me to sum up the first year of Sean's life, I'd tell you how wonderful it was and how he was the greatest baby EVER! Guess what, that statement is true, BUT there were still plenty of times when I wondered if I was going to make it til daylight.
Today we had an "outing" with Robyn & Nate, Mark & Jenn and the boys, Ryan and Jack. Steve and I with Sean. FUN! We went over to a local petting zoo near the house. Well Sean was interested in the animals for about 15 minutes, then the rest of the time, he only wanted to get on the golf cart that drove the owner and his kids around. He was obsessed with this thing. He didn't care about the animals, he didn't care about playing with the other kids... he only cared about this golf cart. Kicking and Screaming, we left and went home. It was lunch time, he was hungry... but YOU BET, he put up a fight with lunch. Throwing his PB&J and Veggies on the floor. Rolling is drink to the other side of the table. Well, that was it, it's NAP time. Up to the room we go, he is tired but the second he realizes, "nap?!", the fight begins. Well I refuse to lose these fights... I've learned my lesson. Cave once, and you're doomed forever! So we toughed it out, til he fell asleep. I was ready to crash myself... I'm dying for a nap! But as soon as I layed my head down.... WIDE AWAKE (me not him), so here I am writing this blog.
Yep, the "2's" are here already, and I don't think they'll be leaving soon.
