Terrible Two's....

Ok, so I usually talk about how awesome and perfect Maeryn is...

Well, not today.

Here is the report Maeryn's teacher gave me when I picked her up from school yesterday:



Obviously there are some positives... she ate all her food, had a good nap 

and went on the potty twice, and of course we still celebrated those things. 

But we were definitely more focused on the behavior portion of the report.

What is happening to my sweet, loving, HAPPY little girl??? 

Unfortunately this report was not an isolated incedent, this was actually

the second one in a row like this and her behavior at home has not been great either...

I have heard the word "NO" more this week than I have in her entire life!

And she's just been so whiny and unreasonable... as soon as something

doesn't go her way, or we try to set rules or discipline her in any way you would

think it was the end of the world!

UGH.

It's normal right?  Someone tell me it's normal.

I've been trying to figure out if something is going on that is causing this behavior...

Are there teeth coming in, is it just this cold that won't go away?

Is it something I am doing?  Does she know my schedule is about to get CRAZY?

Or is it just the TERRIBLE TWO'S?

Yesterday when Miss Becca handed me the report (which she seemed

almost afraid to give me), she said, "don't worry, Maeryn's actually

one of our easy ones!"...  Can you imagine? 

She and Ms. Suzi (and anyone else working with two year olds) are absolute saints. 

These women are in a room with SIXTEEN of these lovely

little monsters ALL DAY LONG. 

Here's hoping for a smiley face on today's report!
