Does anyone else disagree with "Terrible Twos"? Traevan was an angel when he was two. Traevan's threes were a different story, but I think Asher's terribles might be one. Like for example, last night we made a trip to Target to look at all the things we are "patiently" waiting to buy for Christmas. We were all in the book section, or so I thought, when I went looking for Asher. Right before I could grab him he pulled, not one, but two glass Christmas trees off the shelf to shatter at his feet. I nearly passed out. Also, he has six teeth coming in at the moment so that may be contributing to his outbursts and independent demands. Or is it the Terrible Ones? I have tried to analyze too much, so if anyone has any teething, one-year old, out-of-control child advice-please share. At Asher's 15 month appointment he was in the 75% in all three areas. He is definitely a healthy, growing boy. He is still not eating textured table food. I didn't realize he was so behind until his doctor said "If he wants a ham sandwich every day that is fine." Asher is working on chips, graham crackers and cheese tortillas if it is broken up really small. I don't foresee a ham sandwich in his near future. A new activity he really enjoys is pushing our desk chair around the kitchen and getting into silverware, pens, the fridge and the Christmas tree. I really love this stage and am so excited for him to be out of it!
It is definitely "terrible three's"...at least for Braylee it was. Now that she is 4, there is a huge difference. Preslee's a terror, but I don't imagine it getting better in the next couple of years. Did you have to pay for the glass trees? It's a good thing Preslee is short :)
ReplyDeleteLuckily they were way nice about it and said "Oh really don't worry about it! We break stuff all the time! We're just really glad your little boy didn't get cut."
ReplyDeleteWHEW!!! Asher almost got a lump of coal for Christmas...
haha! I love this! I agree I think 3 year olds are the worst! :) But regardless they are all phases and will pass. Just be consistent with your boundaries and remember they are so smart even at one and can learn acceptable behavior :)It also might be a comunication thing to... I hate the stage that they are learning to talk and get so mad at you for not understanding them.. Just a couple thoughts. Good Luck! You are a great Mom!!
