For about the last two weeks you have been a complete brat! I don't know what has gotten in to you but you throw fits constantly and are very rude. Most people say the terrible twos are brought on because children have all these emotions and can't communicate and that brings frustration and anger. However, you talk better then some three year olds I have met so I know communication is not your problem. Baby brother isn't here yet and so it's not a jealousy thing either. You are almost 2 1/2 so maybe I should be lucky it held out this long?
You have up naps the first week of January and I feel like we have just been on the downhill since then. You no longer desire to learn potty training, or listen to your mother, or nap, or want to take baths, or be kind and use kind words. Right now you are very grumpy and if anyone does something you don't like you throw an emotional fit and scream. It sucks! Your most recent thing is constantly wanting to be held when you throw these fits and it puts me in a bad place because I can't reward that behavior. I think this week I will try and get you to nap again. For my own sanity I need that little bit of quiet time and I need my happy girl back.
You still don't sleep through the night which is rough and you are sick AGAIN which always messes up any progress we have made with your sleeping. I am hoping to get you to stay in your room until at least 6am every night. With brother on the way I just don't know how I will manage being up all night with both of you and then somehow function as a mother during the day and care and feed for the two of you. And then I think some women are crazy enough to have 8 kids?! What were they thinking and how in the hell do they do it? I'm freaking out about having two and they will be almost three years apart.
*sigh* I will take a deep breath. Say a little prayer and hope that tomorrow I can be a better mom.
If this is any hint at the moody teenager you are going to be ... I'm screwed.
