I had forgotten how difficult it is to be a mother to a two-year old. I think back on Elias' terrible two's and I remember thinking that no child could be as busy or difficult as he was. What a freaking joke. Sam is a nightmare. A few examples of his rottenness...
-He's ready for potty training, which you'd think is a great thing. He will take off his diaper and poop and pee BESIDE the potty. Not in the potty, beside it. Wonderful that he knows when he has to go. Not so wonderful that he does it in secret, without telling me, and then walks in it, spreading it all over the floor. This has happened every time he's had a bowel movement or a pee in the last 48 hours or so. I'm so tired of it!
-He sneaks into the kitchen to help himself to coffee. This morning, he grabbed the coffee pot and tried to pour himself a cup. I don't know how he managed to not spill the hot coffee on himself, but he sure spilled it everywhere else! GRR!
-He's stubborn and gets angry when I say no... I mean really angry... Hitting me and pinching me.
-He walks up to Elias and hits him for no reason whatsoever.
-He refuses to stay in his own bed... This means that he tries to sneak into MY bed at all hours of the night... No sleep for Momma makes Momma a grouch!
Anyone want to take over parenting for me? Any advice on the potty problem? That's the most irritating at this point... I hate poo.
