I didn't even mention this (common) episode, but you seem to know exactly what I am speaking of. Huh. I guess you get it. :)<br /><br />p.s. I loved the looks of the employees and other patrons as I paid. "Wow. He's BUSY!!!" Yup.

I remember with Luke being so confused when so many moms could hold their child's hand in a parking lot, but mine would always be running away from me. He was always so good at home, and really not a "behavior" problem, but it was still so, so hard to take him anywhere! Yeah..that lasted until a bit after three. Hang in there!!! <br /><br />Paul is more of a snuggler, so I got a little break there, but I'm gearing up for another year and a half or more of toddlers-gone-wild around here!! <br /><br />Erin, your babies are just too easy ;-) , and then they have to make up for it until they're four! Have a "Mallory Baby," and be up with your 13 month old eight times a night, and then by two they'll be a breeze! ;-) .Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235582275507374830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687196647416353706.post-15678552604636374842012-07-10T18:18:05.402-05:002012-07-10T18:18:05.402-05:00Everyone talks about the terrible two's, I kne...Everyone talks about the terrible two's, I knew they were coming, but I wasn't prepared, either time! Every kid is a new curve ball. Your Michael is starting at 15 months, Claire started not long after that. Belle on the other hand wasn't even walking at that point! She's making up all lost time now, as her third birthday rapidly approaches! Her quirks and misbehaviors are opposite of every problem I ever had with Claire. I sometimes feel like she's my first "two" and that I have no prior experience.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687196647416353706.post-38594754921153242662012-07-09T23:08:13.825-05:002012-07-09T23:08:13.825-05:00Ah!!

Isaac is a terror on two feet; despite being an absolute sweetheart when he is properly fed and well-rested, the boy can be a straight-up nightmare. I keep reminding myself "He is 2 years old. He is 2 years old!!" and that this, too, shall pass. Yikes. Bless your heart. I send you high-fives of serious camaraderie!! <3Abbynoreply@blogger.com
