Well, it was inevitable, I guess. Our darling sweet kind daughter has turned into a terror tot. Much, but not all, of the time.

On the bright side, she is learning to potty train. At the moment, she’s sitting on the floor in my office saying, “Just be quiet Mommy. Picking a pair.” as she’s spreading her new Dora, Princess, and plain underwear all over my floor to select one special pair. The winner tonight? Pink with princesses on it. She actually managed to stay dry the entire time we were at skating today, even through a nap! Pretty impressive. There’s hope that she’ll train before 4 (the boys were both 4).

Oh, and while it’s not the clearest picture, Yes that is underwear on Alyson’s head.

Back to Ms. Terror Tot… yesterday she was in Time Out more than she was out of it. Everything she did was directly contrary to what we’d just told her. Don’t jump on the bed landed her in time out twice and got her hurt once. When we’d put her in time out, she’d push her limits and try to move two feet to the left. Everything had to be her way or she was extremely upset. I had no idea we had spoiled her so badly, but I can tell you it stops now! We were all exhausted at the end of the day. Thankfully today has been a bit better.
