Diva Extraordinaire & Mister Softy

Little Miss has officially entered the terrible twos (though she's really not too terrible!) She occasionally has a fit and when she does its a DOOZY! I had asked her repeatedly to help Anthony and I clean up all the cards they had strewn all over the family room and she REFUSED to help. She is usually so good about helping, but she was NOT having it! I asked her to help a few times and she finally got up and started cleaning up!

One point for team mom!!!

After she had picked up about 10 of the cards, she walked right over to me and threw them at me and made this awful eh sound....

Minus 10 for team mom!!!

After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I picked her up, explained that that was rude, and put her in time out. Of course she had a fit, but she sat for her two minutes and did her time....

The kicker was, the ENTIRE time she was in time out Anthony cried.... He kept saying over and over, "But mommy I wuv my sister. Matsin can't do a time out" It was so sad and so cute at the same time!

Anthony is so sweet! What a cutie. I can only empathize with you on terrible two's, we've got that going on here too - Sarah is the SWEETEST thing EVER - until she has a fit! She followed me down the aisle at the store the other day SCREAMING at me to give her a yogurt - as if I had a spoon in my pocket. Good luck with that! :-)

Ah, the terrible twos, how I don't miss them lol. She sounds like she's not so bad though, and what a lucky girl to have such a sweet big brother!

LMAO...and all the while Madison is watching and learning from Anthony. When Syd turned two she became SASSY!! Sounds like you might have your hands full too lol.

That's good that you followed up w/ a timeout!! It's hard, huh? They're so cute, and you just want to laugh sometimes!!

Anthony has always been very protective of Madison. I love that he sticks up for her and protects her.

Aww they are so sweet to each other.

Don't worry. My son does things like that to me occasionally and he isn't even 2 yet!
