I think we are in the midst of the freakishly awful terrible twos around here. I’m being oh so serious. My cute little boy Jay has decided to turn into a terror. He’s not a terror all the time. He just has at least one huge meltdown a day. Some days, like yesterday, he has two of these meltdowns.
I’m at a loss. I’m not sure what to do. Sai didn’t have the terrible twos. He had the terrible threes. And they weren’t as bad as Jay’s terrible twos.
Jay is cute and sweet and I love him. But he’s driving me batty! He had has tantrum at church and didn’t even want me. Fine. We came home and put him down for a nap. A too long nap. Bedtime on school nights is 8:00 or 8:30 at the latest. He wouldn’t go to sleep when Sai did. I figured it was because he had a long nap and didn’t get up until 4:30. So that’s fine. But Joe and I were ready for bed and Jay threw big huge fit number 2. I’m really surprised he didn’t wake Sai with his carrying on. I gave up and went and laid in bed. Joe somehow had the magic touch and got him to bed but it took a while. So we didn’t get to sleep until 11:00!!! ARGH!
So far no meltdown today. But there are still many hours to go until bedtime.
On another note, I feel like I’ve arrived in the blog world. The lovely Ms. Sadira tagged me on her blog. I’m honored. However, I’m a bad blogger. The tag is about good things to do when blogging. And frankly, I have nothing to add to the list (because I’m a bad blogger). There’s stuff on that list that I know I should do but I don’t. For instance “Always reply to your comments.” I would LOVE to do that. But WordPress has stopped e-mailing me when I get new comments. And I don’t always take the time to reply. So thank you Sadira, but I’m not worthy!!!
