Months 34, 35...Oh Sara.....this resonates with me. Months 34, 35, & 36 (mostly 35 & 36) have been SO hard!! And I was NOT prepared for it or expecting it. I never felt like I had a terrible two. Just a terrible ALMOST 3. And honestly, since the day of his b'day, we've had just good days....I'm hoping that it lasts :) But there has been too much blatant disobedience on the part of the almost (now) 3 year old, and WAY too much yelling on the part of the parent at at the end of her rope. And then LOTS of mommy-guilt. It's amazing how these kids are so forgiving and loving though. When I tell him I love him so so much, and "no matter what", and apologize for yelling, and explain that I love him even when he makes poor choices, he believes me and accepts it! And then gives me hugs and showers me with kisses and tells me "it's okay Mommy." In these moments I'm so scared that I'm scarring him for life. I hope not, but I wish there were a way to make my scarey yelling voice to go away and never ever come back!!, even when I'm frustrated! (Being the parent of 2 boys, if you have any tips, let me know!!!! :))Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114047552901702599noreply@blogger.com
