Noah has now more officially hit 2 than ever before. He is defying every single boundary or limit that has ever been set for him. This picture is an example of him not wanting to get dressed in the morning. Notice it is his Buzz Lightyear pajama top that is sitting around his diaper. Also he has that mope master face of huge upset because how dare mom change his clothes in the morning. The day he turned 2, I did notice a difference in him. It was like he knew now that he was suppose to be terrible. The last three weeks have tested me as a mother. My patience, tolerance, understanding and discipline have been throughtly tested. I have never been a person of great self discipline and when things in my life made me be so I push and pull and fight against this. I am not proud of it. It has become something I have learned to accept about myself. Since I know I am this way, I try to do the things I know I should without feeling rebellious over them. Any mother who has been through this phase of their child's life knows exactly what I am talking about. So for now I will continue to love my son with all I have, be as consistant as possible and try not to pull my hair out. The moments that he becomes my sweet boy again make it worth it.

The joys of motherhood. At least you know they'll grow out of it, and find new and exciting ways to stress you out.
Hi Laurie, I have a 2 year old too. I know exactly how you feel. How do they know they're supposed to act like that? I swear it was a switch that flipped on the week of her birthday! Hang in there!
After tending Noah yes I would have to say he is very two and has a mind of his own
