The past month or so I've been noticing more and more crazy toddler behavior. She cries at the store now which she used to NEVER do, she will flat out skip naps and some nights I'm having to go "put her to bed" somewhere between 3 to 5 times! It's nuts. I'm tired of the attitude and half the time I don't even want to say things to her anymore because I don't want to listen to any yelling. It's exhausting. That being said she's having another language boom and so she often pretty hilarious and entertaining. She just turned 2 on Saturday.

We are there already at 23 months. I am hoping it is also molars coming in but there is no denying that we are already deep in tantrum-ville. The things that set her off are utterly random. Like, DH got her out of bed this morning and said "let's go downstairs for breakfast" (which is literally what they do every single morning) and that apparently set off 10 straight minutes of hysterical screaming (because she wanted to stay in her room?). But last night our electricity went out and we had to change up her entire bedtime routine and she was totally fine. So weird.

Us. My 2.5 year old is a demon.

DS will be 3 in November as well so we're right in the thick of it. Add in a 3mo baby brother and things are getting worse. Now he's starting to realize that the baby isn't going anywhere so he's getting more possessive of DH and me. So that's fun. The tears come out of nowhere and you can't calm him down. 3's are supposed to be worse than 2's right? Awesome.

Yeah, we are getting better (he will be three next month) but 2.5 is no joke.... He's still tough, but it's definitely better (at least this week).
