The terrible...not so good...very very awful twos.

Both Connor and Sophia decided to enter the terrible twos somewhere between birth and eighteen months. The exact timing is a little vague as I think they had been in the terrible twos for quite some time before Ben and I realized this is what we were dealing with.

Sophia is firmly in the grips of this lovely parenting moment. She is doing things like refusing to sleep, getting into everything, and responding to our scolding with the following:

On the plus side it only took us roughly four years to get Connor out of this stage and more into the "I'm going to try the old terrible twos routine, but you are probably not going to buy it anymore" stage.

Ah parenting. Not for the faint of heart...or those who don't like to listen to crying.
