Life has been interesting around here lately. I am pretty sure my nerves are shot and my brain is fried. Getting a house ready to sell is no easy task with three little ones. We are thinking we should have decorated when we moved in, rather than when we were moving out... but that is another story.
I love to sit and think about my children. Smile about their awesome little personalities (or BIG personalities as it may be) and wonder what Maggie will be like. It truly amazes me that Naomi and Daphne can be SO different. I can't think of one way that they are alike. Can you? I love them so much. But on to the shot nerves...
I don't remember Naomi being such a difficult two year old! AAAAHHHH!!!!!! Daphne is such a bear sometimes. She is bull headed and defiant and willful and mean at times. I'm sure she'll mellow out in the coming year, or at the very least it will serve her well as an adult (not the mean part) but I'm having a hard time waiting for those days to come.
Her thing for the past few days has been saying she is a "bad, bad boy." The boy part isn't new. She has enjoyed calling herself a boy since she figured out what a boy was. I think she does it because it gets Naomi riled up. She will do ANYTHING to get Naomi going. The part that concerns me is that when I talk with them about how they are not bad girls (or boys) and there is a difference between doing something bad and being bad, Daphne smiles and says, "no, I'm a bad, bad boy." O.K. She does enjoy being contrary, but I really do think she enjoys doing bad things too! I won't get into all the "bad" things, but don't rule anything out.
How did you get through the "two's"?
