This shirt describes the Terrible Twos to a T.
Nixon is almost 2 1/2 years old and is right in the middle of the terrible twos.
We've definitely been getting a run for our money with him.
He's started hitting and kicking when he wants our attention, when he doesn't get his way, or just for no reason at all.
He hits other kids when they have something that he wants.
That's embarrassing.
And frustrating.
The kicking thing has just barely started and we have no idea where that came from.
He's stared asking why to EVERYTHING.
He doesn't listen and mind very well either.
He does things out of spite.
He's also learned some naughty words thanks to older cousins and neighborhood friends.
He'll say, "I say naughty words" and then say them.

How does a 2 year old know how to push so many buttons???
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed lately.
A little inadequate.
I feel like I'm doing the best I can, but it's not good enough.
I know it's his age and the stage he's at, but I feel like he has control over me some times.
That's not how it's supposed to be.
I'll give in sometimes so I don't have to deal with a huge fit or tantrum.
But that's my fault and I know when I do that, I'm creating a disaster later.
Sometimes I feel like it's just not worth the headache I guess.
I love him to pieces.
He brings so much joy and happiness to me.
He also knows how to push my buttons at just the right time.
Anyone else out there know what I'm talking about???
I'm sure there is.
And if there is, I would LOVE some advice.

Hang in there....it might get worse before it gets better! Patience my dear PATIENCE!! love ya!
Sounds a lot like Mayzie :) She's 4 and still just as hard. She just has such a strong personality. I figure we'll probably butt heads forever. I've just had to learn to roll with the punches. Some days are harder then others.
Nixon is such a little stud and you are a good mom. Don't ever let yourself think anything different :) love ya!
Oh Trudi, we have all been there, don't feel alone! There will be good days, bad days and worse days, then he'll (mostly) get over it :) I'll be thinking of you, 'cause my little 2 year old drives me crazy 2... actually she is crawling all over me right now! time out, here we come!
