Terribles 2's- Sign Me Up For A Straight Jacket

I've been known to lovingly refer to my spawn as Satan and Damien. C and R are amazing little boys.  Their personalities shine brighter everyday.  They always make me laugh, and are too smart for their own good.

BUT my goodness... "The Terrible 2's", it might very well drive me off of the deep end at times lol. So C has passed his 3rd Birthday celebration, and R has yet to embark on his 2nd- so I should, theoretically, have 2 "angel" children at my hip. BAHAHAHAHAhaha

Ok, C is getting easier to manage, as he's learning to control his different emotions. SOMETIMES. He's also "learned" other undesirable behaviours. That might as well be a subject for another day lol. We just find that a boy at this age has to be constantly stimulated, and the busier he is, the happier we all are.

R, has entered this phase EARLY.
And he doesn't know about controlling emotions, or expressing him. All that know him, have seen him as the more gentle, docile sibling. SUH-PRIZE!!!! You should see him drag C around by a fistful of hair, screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs. It's terrifying... and why he does it... I'll never know.  As I've mentioned in a previous blog about their fighting, it's 85% of the time is started by the youngest.

Both of them whine about everything, and anything. All. Day. Long. When they get something they ask for, they whine that they don't want that anymore. I walk away, laughing. I'm probably laughing because I'm starting to go crazy, rather than it being funny anymore. :P

Everyday is getting easier than the last. And I am learning so, SO much from the 2 brilliant schemers (like I now can't turn my back... they are being devious TOGETHER now... help me, please).

C and R bring me so much joy in life and I adore them to bits. Always will, no matter how many grey hairs I'll accumulate during the child raising process.

And as a dear cousin in-law, J, posted on FB, "Wild Colts Make The Best Horses". Well here's hopin'! :)
