Age Makes a Difference

When your cute little two-month-old lays on her back and pulls her toes up to her mouth and smiles becuase she has discovered something new about her body, it's cute.

But when your two-YEAR-old lays on her back and pulls her toes up to her mouth and proceeds to rip off her toe nails with her teeth, make faces at you and say "Yuck!",..well..that's just not right.

When Your cute little newborn gives you a smile and you know it's because of gas, it's easy to still love him because it is unintentional.

But when your toddler squats and grunts and then smiles at you even though you were trying unsucessfully to get him to the potty before the diaper got full, it's just not as easy to not want to pick him up and shake him.

When that brand new bundle of joy cries out out night because he needs food, or a new diaper, or just reassurance, you give it lovingly, even if half asleep, because she needs you.

But when your small little person, who during the day insists on doing things all by herself, screams and crys out of anger and stubborness for you to do something or get something that she has proven over and over again that she can get by herself it's just hard to not yell and cry back.

I think all two year olds are neurotic with some definite psychotic tendencies.

Sounds like someone is not being as nice as she could be to her Mommy!

Hoping today is a better day for you both.
