We are just hours away from Coleman turning the official number 2, one hour and 43 minutes to be exact. This is supposedly one of the more dreaded years of toddler hood. I don't know what the future holds for us. Caden was easy, ridiculously easy until about 3...then our world turned upside down and we are still waiting for it to right itself.
Coleman is such a different kid than Caden was. He is not easy going. He is WAY more verbal (he sings songs!) and active than Caden was at the same age. And coleman shows no sign of fear while Caden was timid and reserved in new situations.
In the last couple days we have seen a large shift in his personality. He gets angry, pouts, and tries to use emotions to get his way....and when that doesn't work he has resorted to hitting...and by hitting I mean flailing his arm at you. Caden never hit and really still doesn't. (he has other ways to show his anger that equally frustrating).
I am sure it will be an interesting year ahead of us and I have a feeling we may see a glimpse of what other parents refer to as the terrible 2's. please wish me luck !!! I think the old saying will come in handy this year. Stay Calm and Carry On!
