Then he grabbed anything he could find: shoes, pillows. Honestly if he could have lifted a chair, he would have tossed it down the stairs. OMG! And I haven't even started with the biting, which is driving me totally insane. But he's cute just like your guy who is Adorable with a captial A. As for how do people have two? I have NO CLUE. NOT A ONE. Good luck. You'll be fine.

A similar thing happened to Ari over Thanksgiving. He refused to eat anything but a cupcake. I feel your pain. Oh grandmothers, they mean well. <br /><br />Cordy- 10!! Wow! Hope you made it to the bank! Yeah, the infant can't run it's true. But I could see how that would slow you don't. Girl, I don't know how you do it.

They never want to leave and I wonder if I should just carry one to the car first and then the other or struggle with two who will run away when I put one down. At least one you can fight and have better odds of winning. >:) They are like a little team so it's good and bad, depending on who they are teaming against! But that's two toddlers. A baby and a toddler will have it's own challenges and benefits. (Baby can't run in the opposite direction just yet!! But you always have to hold them, and that slows your running after the other one down!)The Unorthodox Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214507146914782673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-51853310358298717172010-11-29T11:06:29.348-08:002010-11-29T11:06:29.348-08:00poor you. kids are brutally irritating, and so mu...poor you. kids are brutally irritating, and so much harder to take when you are preg. last night we went to my parents for my bday dinner. they fought over toys for the first 30m. then at dinner, my 3yr old refused to eat anything. my one year old ate a bit then threw a bit then ate a bit then threw a bit. finally i said that if the 3yr old didnt try a bite of his dinner then no cake. of course he didnt eat any of his dinner, but when cake came around he was starving....but my mother reminded me that i said no cake unless he ate some of his dinner. "he is just pushing his boundaries, and if you give in to him, it will be detremental in the long run." I let him have some cake and will probably never hear the end of it from my mother....happy birthday to me....sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235269953424948358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-24596331170712401042010-11-29T11:05:12.472-08:002010-11-29T11:05:12.472-08:00Lol!!

It's true, a two year old will emotionally knock you to the ground. An infant just needs food, sleep and love.Sarah Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130247223287762814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-32120696587714341402010-11-29T10:18:31.980-08:002010-11-29T10:18:31.980-08:00My morning was similar - except I was up at 5:00 w...My morning was similar - except I was up at 5:00 with a little girl who wouldn't wear underwear, wouldn't wear pants and was NOT going to be told what to have for breakfast! <br /><br />I think dealing with a two-year-old is much more difficult than an infant. It's overwhelming at first, but I'm slowly figuring out when each kid really needs attention and when one kid can just wait for a few minutes. My pediatrician once told me, "It's OK to let the baby cry." And that has saved me so much frustration in the past four months. <br /><br />Hope you have a great afternoon!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804599801011940441noreply@blogger.com
