T2

There is always terrible with the two.

Last year he was the most challenging. He frequently gets mood swings and gets frustrated whenever he doesn't get what he wants. It results to tantrums and wailing, lying on the floor and banging himself. Sometimes it goes to the extent of biting because of too much temper that he cannot express himself. "NO" is an expression or it may be the only word he understands. Don't expect to hear a positive answer because he uses it each time you ask him without a second thought.

He loves to run around a very small space. He loves to swallow his flavored toothpaste. He always eat with toys right in front the table which makes broccoli easy to munch and swallow. He always asks for a second cup of milk and the television is always a pleasure. His red crocs are his favorite.

He hates to take a nap when everybody gets to be awake all the while. He is difficult when he gets the chance to play with the water. He has the tendency to throw out books just for the fun of it and gets a time out and says sorry only after you've forced him to say it and he's cried all his lungs out.

He is the worst I've ever known. The two of us together = T2 (Terrible Two)

It was never long to get used to when he seemed charming especially when he behaved and cooperated.

It was a joy when I finally let him say "YES!" That is with repetition until tounge twisting blurts and attempts to say no again. Then the most heart-warming of all is when he called me out and told me 'I miss you.'

He calls me "Oh-nah."

I call him "Griffin."

Then I thought to myself, it will be a cute name for my kid in the future.
