I had hoped that since Anna had colic until she was 4 months old that God would go easy on me. . . . .I was WRONG! Anna began the "terrible twos" around when she was 18 months old but is in full force now. Today I try to run a simple errand and then take Anna to lunch. . .epic fail! She does not want me to hold her, hold her hand, sit in a buggy, or simply touch her at all. No problem when we are at home but this tends to be an issue when we are going to the car or in a store. She doesn't want to sit in a high chair or a booster seat also which is super fun! She threw herself on the ground and began to scream today like I had just beaten her. UGH! I get frustrated because when she is throwing a tantrum there is literally nothing I can do and it can last up to 30 minutes. I ignore her and she just gets louder, I try to console her and she just screams more. Some days I am really lucky and she throws a tantrum for no reason at all. It is like a switch gets flipped and my child becomes Damien from "The Omen". One of my friends told me that 3 was worse than 2 and I'm thinking "Oh My God, give me Xanax NOW!!".
My mother tells me I was like Anna at her age which I would love to say is so not true but unfortunately I know too well it is. I was so bad at church one time that she accidentally left my sister at church. I guess it is true that you pay for your raising. I try to look on the bright side that even though Anna is throwing tantrums like Naomi Campbell right now, it won't last forever. I hope so anyway. Although I can picture adult Anna throwing a cell phone at someone. . . . .
