Well, a week into being 2, our little angel turned into an absolute devil.

Terrific twos, here we are. Wife and I are going to start drinking more.

Luckily for us long drives were always cake. But man the first time we went away for the weekend was a nightmare, trying to put her down in a packnplay, taping sheets and comforters to the windows to try and get it dark in there fml

Currently bouncing on a yoga ball with dude wrapped on me right now lmao

 

[beddachedda]

Did the 2 hour drive like a boss though

Didn't cry at all but was teetering the last half hour, I wonder how long mom will ride in the back seat lol

My wife likes to assist on home projects but i can always do better on my own. It was just not a good time, all this flowery pattern bullshit that needs to line up perfectly the whole way down.
It’s even getting me heated rn

drive back had a full blown meltdown at ~1hr mark, had to pull over to calm him down and the last 40 minutes were melty too, now trying to get him under control :'(

My green thumb baby

Cute kid!

Is it bad that I think my three year old is getting extremely annoying? Idk if it’s only child syndrome or what. Feels like she regressed 6 months in the last few weeks. I know they go through phases. But damn I feel terrible for thinking this way. My wife agrees with me so I don’t feel too bad I guess.

Thanks for letting me vent!

I get some whining now, but I think we're in a better place overall

Christ mine whines whenever she doesn’t get what she wants. And we really don’t spoil her so I’m unsure of where it’s coming from.

I just ignore it, following some guidance. How are the meltdowns?

The backseat of my truck is a goldfish holocaust every time I go get it washed.
Half eaten, crushed, forgotten goldfish crackers by the LB on every crack and crevice. It’s frightening.
