terrible twos?

(I meant to post this last Monday, whoops) This past weekend was anything but relaxing, I need another weekend to recover. My little monkey, love of my life, apple of my eye, favorite person ever has entered his terrible twos at full speed and oh, just about 6 months early! This weekend he started temper tantrums and he has now mastered the word NO in all 6900 languages. His answer to everything is NO! and I'm about to loose my mind.

This morning on the way into school Liam threw another fit, the kind where his legs become jello jigglers and he hits the ground like a ton of bricks. I'm thinking to myself never let him see you sweat, I GOT THIS! As the nice lady in the hallway tilts her head and says "awwww, poor baby". LADY are you serious, poor baby, you must not have children of your own, POOR MOMMY! Liam made me want to bust a U turn after dropping him off and head straight to a bar.

This too shall pass...sometimes the only thing I can do is take a deep breath and give him a big hug. I know it's not easy for either of us.  On Sunday, I decided to make him some Toddler Muffins in hopes this would put a smile on his face and it did! THANK GOD! He loves them and kept putting his little hands together saying "mo mo". I love it when he signs to us! Another thing he loves to do is pull his stool into the bathroom and brush his teeth (suck on the toothbrush). After I brush, all 5 of his teeth, I let him do it and play with the water in the sink. It's the little things that make this little guy happy.

Later this week we fly to Florida to see GiGi, my grandma. I'm nervous about the flight with Liam, even though it will be his third time flying. I feel as though the trips are only getting worse. Wish us lots of luck with a side of tequila!

Here's a pic of the toddler muffins and Liam being a big boy, brushing his teeth!

Until next time,
