Julia pretended that side walk chalk was lip stick today and I caught it on film.
Someone let this little girl know that she was a month shy of turning two because she is all about acting like a two year old lately. It's not so much that she is into more or disobeying more, its these tantrums. They are unreal, I am actually concerned sometimes that she might hurt herself. I usually walk away but sometimes I get really concerned, its those panicky mothering moments where you wonder how much of it you are responsible for. I don't want to cater to her to avoid a fit but I also don't like to set her off, its a delicate balancing act.
An exhausting balancing act.
Andy and I survived the death stomach flu last week. I like to call it that because both of us asked the other to put us out of our misery in the midst of it. Luckily our sicknesses were 2 days apart because I don't know how we would have survived getting it at the same time. The stomach flu is so horrid, I'm convinced its one of the things that people are tormented with in hell. That and mastitis.

We are all too familiar with two year old tantrums. The problem here is that we don't even have any two year olds right now.
My four year old, three year olds and one year old still give us pleny of chances to experience them though.
Just a suggestion (I'm sure you've tried this) when the tantrum throwing was at it's worst I got to the point where I would pick the child up and carry them to their bed. I'd leave them there to throw their tantrum until they were ready to return in a more civilized manner. They usually quit pretty quickly and I felt a lot safer with them in bed and not in the floor near hard chairs or toys etc...

On the contrary... I would put a lot of hard and sharp objects around them on the floor so when they threw a tantrum they would get hurt. After a cleaned up the blood, I would say 'see what happens when you throw a tantrum'.
