Terrible 2's...

The terrible 2's....I know it's hard to believe with this adorable face, but I think they have begun. See being an only child allows you to get away with more as he is the "first" child for us and the youngest grandchild on both sides, but Mommy has started to notice a bit of change. Beginning with tonight, see little Nico has anything a 17 month old could ask for on the first floor, but of course even though he knows to stay downstairs, when Mommy looks away for just a second he rockets up the stairs. So Mommy notices it's gotten a little too quiet and starts the task of walking up the stairs only to find little Nico running for the computer he's not allowed to touch or the water faucet he HAS to turn on or even hiding under the computer desk just long enough to freak Mommy out! So then it's on, I pick up little innocent Nico and once again tell him No which is NOT working, so we go to a time out but on the way down he decides he going to start biting, which is definitely not something I will put up with sooooo now it's time out, the yelling, screaming and croodile tears that only last long enough to get what he wants. And throughout I am wondering, "Nico did you really think biting me was really gonna help your situation?" I know he is only 17 months old, but I am so scared he is going to turn into "one" of those kids that nobody wants their kids around.

So to all those mothers out there who have ANY advice I am definitely ready to listen for any encouragement on the terrible 2's!!!

On a completely different note, for all of those family and friends who read my Blog please add our good friends, Steven and Kiki to your prayers. They are having some pregnancy issues and we are very worried about them, so any prayers and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
