Wow - You hear about it all the time, but wow! Terrible two's at its finest - that is where we are at with Cooper right now. He's like a different kid. At any point in time he could be hugging on you and saying, "Hi Mommy how are you today?" to "No Mommy I not like that. I want to be by myself. Go away!" Seriously kid?
And heaven help us if we tell him he can't have something. You should cover your ears for the screams that will follow. At one point yesterday I just sat down on the ground looking at him while he just screams. One thing we have figured out, is yelling at him does not work - but you know what kind of works? Ignoring him. He hates being ignored (Finally a quality of mine shining through!). To the point where he will stop screaming and just cry hugging your leg. It's the only way you can get him to calm down enough to have a conversation with him.
So please think about us - it is going to be a test of our parenting. Gosh I hope we don't screw this up.
