The TERRIBLE Two's...

Yeah...I have heard this phrase a million times and the moment Hudson turned two I thought to myself, "this isn't so bad." Well no one told me this phase could come at any random time in the entire second year!! WE HAVE BEEN HIT! lol.

I woke up this morning to a child who REFUSES to sit on the toilet...he wants to stand like daddy. Well I vowed to myself that I would have a whole lot less of a mess if he learned sitting down. Anyways that was just the beginning...he takes his pajamas and throws them down the laundry shoot which was exactly what I had planned to put back on him because he is wearing big boy underware and messes are just easier to deal with in pajamas that already need to be washed anyway. So...I get him dressed and the fit throwing starts (I swear he is worse than a girl!) "I DONT WANT THESE PANTS" "I DONT WANT TO WEAR THIS" I got him dressed, sat him down and said "mommy ALWAYS picks out your clothes and that's it...deal with it" So we head downstairs and I say "Hudson, what would you like for breakfast? Yogurt, cereal, waffels, eggs, etc." He said "MAC N' CHEESE!!" I say "No...that's for lunch silly!" To which he replies "POPSICLES!" and of course my response is "We can't have popsicles for breakfast!" And again...THE FIT STARTS!!! Right on the floor of the kitchen. By this time I have had enough so to the "naughty step" he goes and after refusing to sit there, a spanking and ugh...its just been an awful morning. Definitely not a good start to a day. So here i sit...ignoring him like a child and just typing away! He is yelling from the living room "MOMMY!!! I WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE!!!!!!!" from the top of his lungs. Since day one i have always had a pet peeve about kids saying "i want, i want, i want" so every time he says this I reply, "NO, we don't say I want...what do you say?" and he says "Can I...." Well I'm pretty sure that wont fly today! lol. Ugh...I just hope he gets it all out of his system before his brother comes. I can't handle it!

Any suggestions? :0)
