This is where we were a year ago. So sweet and kind...
And now... Oh my! We have had quite a week here. I can't tell you how exhausting it is. My 2 year old is being just that, a 2 year old. My dad said Anabelle will probably stay sweet and not put me through the wringer like Emmie. I told him I deserve it. I mean she is only 2 and almost 3 months. I have 9 more months to go?! I am not sure I will make it.
She can be so sweet and fun and then it can all change in a moment. This week has been a true challenge. 2 massive tantrums yesterday, enough to make her have a hoarse voice today. She woke up sweet this morning with a nice "Good morning mommy". And within 2 minutes she was having a tantrum and had her first time out of the morning. I wish I could write about what we are dealing with, but it will take forever. In a nutshell, she is just not getting what she wants or doesn't want to do something I want her to, ie. go potty!, get dressed, brush hair, etc.
So after doing some reading I have decided to cool my jets and stop getting my panties in a wad ever time we have a situation. I have kept my cool ( for the past 2 days atleast). I stay calm and let her know if she continues then I will walk away. Seemed to work but we will see. Sometimes I get so dang frustrated I need to walk away and vent.
Temper tantrums are awful, but they wont last forever. I hope... Lets just pray that they get better and not worse.
