Terrible twos = terrible two year old.
12:50 AM
So there are probably a lot of people who would disagree with that and I can't say I have a lot of experience with two year olds. Technically I can't even say I have a two year old for another month. Emma is starting to come into her "terrible" twos. She is easy though and I say if you have really bad terrible twos its because you have a terrible two year old :)
I don't :P
Now that she can communicate to Shanna and I pretty clearly what she wants there is no hesitation. "More mine money!" "More dandy(candy)." "Haha Daddy ripper"(I don't have a dog to blame it on like my brother and my kid is too old to blame now). Emma's two's aren't really terrible at all and I don't think they are going to get much worse. Go ahead and laugh. This kid is a breeze so far and as a father of a daughter I am WAY more worried about what happens in her life between the ages of 12 and when I die than I am of this year. She is too much fun even when she is upset. She still uses sign language (I caught her signing as the spoke to her kittens today) in addition to words so she is very easy to understand especially if you spend much time around her. When she gets upset she will say "NO." But then she answers "no" t
o just about any question. Most breakdowns or "tantrums" as I believe they are called are usually due to extreme sleepiness and almost always end with her falling asleep, wanting to be held, or falling asleep while I hold her. Something I am always pleased with because it won't be too long before I she is too old for that. Having her sleep on your shoulder is just about the best thing in the world although it might come in second to her walking up to you and putting her arm around your back and just smiling and patting your shoulder like she is your pal. I guess now that she has the "friend" thing down the next thing to learn is how to retract that friendship by responding to my "Emma, daddy says no" with "Daddy you can't be my friend!"
It's been a while since I posted so here is a fictitious ad I built with Photoshop. It's just straight out of a book so it isn't as impressive as you might think and the photo quality isn't as high as it could be. I shrunk the file size for posting but I think you can get the idea. I think it's fun.
