Suddenly, when they "turn on you" with erratic and uncharacteristic behavior, that it becomes really tough because you haven't been training yourself for this. <br /><br />Well, I'm speaking from experience with my 19-month-old anyway. Just when I think things are going well, she surprises us. And when I brace myself for the worst, she's an absolute angel.

I had assumed we were out of the woods on the sleep training. That was a year ago! Shit! Boy 2 definitely has, as my sweet mother says, "a very short fuse." I feel sure the public tantrums I never had with Boy 1 were all waiting in storage in my uterus where boy 2 collected them and is now almost ready to unleash them. Eek! Hang in there momma. Oh, and go see Toy Story 3! You'll weep and wish for your children to never grow up!LucyCooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038825805426846794noreply@blogger.com
