The Terrible Twos, Nine Months Early

Archer is currently...

-Punching me in the face.

-Throwing every item of food I offer.

-Screaming for an hour at bedtime.

-Waking up 3 or 4 times in the middle of the night, after a good year of twelve-hour nights. Yeah. Those were the days.

-Smacking my friend's 6 month-old in the face, laughing and doing it again (laughing harder when I screamed in horror.)

-Kicking me every time I change his diaper, get him dressed, lie down with him.

-Saying "No" and shaking his head to any toy offered.



-Reaching to be held every five minutes.

-Head-butting me when I do hold him.

-Pulling my hair and biting me when I ask for a kiss.

-Ripping off diapers in his crib and then ripping them apart.

-Trying to do everything I tell him not to do, including trying to play with the stove, play in the dog's water, eat bark and trying to crawl into the middle of the street.

-Arching his back and having a tantrum everytime I put him in the stroller.

-Screaming bloody murder for no reason at all and then bashing his head into the floor.

-Throwing books, ripping them and eating them.

-Laughing when I say, "No!"

-What happened to my angelic little darling?

Seriously.

WTF?

I am very sad.
