Have a terrible 2 year old?

yeah sucks doesn't it, Spencer dropped his just in time for Kyle to turn up

So glad to hear its not just us! Mine stomps off to her room slams the door and hides out in her closet thought thats what a teenager does. And I have to stop myself from laughing at it sometimes cause its quite funny really (but not funny all at the same time).

Elle still has a big day sleep - usually a good 2 hours (thank god!).

I do find she is worse when she is tired - or hyped up by her father .

Oh no - big hugs to you all!

Makes me feel so much better about Jake (haha) - hes not bad compared to most I guess!! But does have awesome language (was putting 2 words together at 16mths) so he can explain what he wants (just doesn't like the answer sometimes!) and still sleeps 2-3.5 hours most days which helps.

To those expecting no 2 right when they turn 2 (Morgan was born 5 days after his b'day) I have found Jake a little more "temperamental" but his behaviour hasn't gone downhill too much - and he is definitely not taking anything out on her (seems very happy about having a baby sister), hes just generally more difficult. But its hard to say if thats cos DH has been primarily looking after him (I had c section) or cos hes got chickenpox or just turned 2 or Morgan arriving ... or all of the above!

Although his tantrums aren't much worse - he is definitely losing it alot more over nothing recently and whining all the time. Meltdown is way faster. And dinner is a battle since he decided a couple of months ago not to eat meat anymore (but thats been going on for a while now!) and we have the indecisiveness too .... wants it, doesn't want it, wants it.... you sit there, no I'm sitting there etc etc.

Haha Nikki that's so funny! Gabrielle isn't two yet but doing some of the same things, especially meltdowns over being told 'no'.

She also tells off all of her toys, friends, the dog and cats! She will say everything we say to her. Even last night I was in her room and she went to the lounge not before telling me to 'stay there' and shaking her finger at me at the same time lol! I am renaming her 'boss'.

yip another bossy one here! she also tells her toys off for hitting each other and makes them say sorry and cuddle each other and then asks the other toy if they are 'all better now?'.

Also very obsessed with all of her toys & dolls doing a poo (she even sniffs them and makes a winkled up nose) and changing their nappies- funny child.
