I don't like the phrase "the terrible twos" I don't think it's fair to label my daughter as "terrible", and I really believe that every stage has its challenges and it really never is easy. Regardless the age of two is fastly approaching with all of the changes and challenges that being a mum of a 2 year old brings and I am constantly hearing the word "terrible" mentioned, I may have even uttered it myself in moments of frustration. Pea is changing daily, she is testing limits and using new words and pushing my buttons like she never has before. I must remind myself to get down on her level and look through her eyes at the situation she is facing which can be easy on a day with a lot of sleep the night before but incredibly difficult after a sleepless night like last night and the past few. Pea's eye teeth are on the way in and they are giving her quite a bit of trouble, which makes for restless nights and cranky days. We have survived countless sleepless nights already and we will survive these together as one day they will be a distant memory.
I wish I could write more but she is sleeping on me and it's difficult to write much right now.
