AGHHH!!!
That's been my sound of the weekend. Maggie has suddenly turned into a very difficult little person and it's so exhausting. (one week from) three year olds are hard, yo. She went from this little ray of sunshine to a constant stream of whines, arguments, contrary opinions, and very loud demands. Freaks out at naptime, bedtime, and if I go to the bathroom alone. I know she's just exercising her independence but good grief, things are really tough around here because you never know what's going to set girlfriend off on a tear.
I feel frustrated with myself because I'm not coping with this change very well. I keep losing my patience which I know does not help matters. And there's no reasoning with a three year old. Blergh. I picked a good time to start working more, that's for sure. She's much better behaved for the grandparents than she is for us. Lucky ducks.
Ready to rumble.

Dagger has started flinging himself on the floor in tantrums. I thought that was a 2 year old thing?
There must be something in the air this time of year. Connor has been testing my everloving patience lately.
I think his is mostly about the fact that this weekend was the first time he has seen J in a month, because he's working out of town. That means the weeks he is supposed to spend with J turn into "Nanna and Pappa" weeks. They tell me he's a perfect angel there, but a holy terror when I get him back. It takes a few days for things to settle down some and I feel like a jackass for not being as patient and adaptable as I'd like to be throughout it all.
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.
I thought we'd just left the Worst Age Ever. the tantrums have stopped. i thoguht it was great timing. What you guys are saying is coem October when i have a 4 month old it will get worse?
Egads.
Yeah, Andy is certainly testing his boundaries. Yesterday, he was sitting in my lap being all cute and cuddly. Then he turns around, looks me square in the eyes, clenches his fist, and punches my chest. Awesome.
I have recently realized to what extent my kid clings to me around others. My H has taken him to our friends' houses for BBQs a couple of times in the last few months without me. He comes home and tells me (and I hear later from our friends) how social he is, and how he plays with everybody, and just generally has a great time. But, whenever I am around, he clings to me, is whiney, and will flip out when I try to go to the bathroom without him. I'm glad my kid wants to be with me, but it makes me sad that he doesn't seem to have fun when I am around (okay, I'm being dramatic - he still plays and has fun - he is just more on edge and is less adventurous when I am there).
