Love and Hate
Just like it was tattooed on my knuckles, I’ve got this love hate relationship going on with Carter right now.
I love how he’s developing into this little dude who can think for himself. He likes and dislikes things, he has an amazing memory of streets, construction equipment, and people, even though he thinks all things are blue and can’t count past 7. He tries though. He’s just fucking amazing and sometimes I just want to hug him and feel his Mohawk hair and tell him how much I love him and how cool he is.
Then he’s this little jackass who I want to be as far away from as possible. He’ll spit over and over even when you ask him not to, and tell him not to, and yell at him not to, and punish him for doing it (albeit a positive and non-physical punishment). He’ll put stuff in the dog’s water, he’ll scream inside, he won’t listen, he’ll throw a tantrum because he can’t have yogurt.
Being a parent is hard. Two year olds are lucky they do cute things every once and a while.

It's been said about 2 yr olds in general (and heather specifically) that it's a good thing they're so cute, or you'd have to kill them.
I ffel your (and wifey poo's) pain

Terrible two's will be over soon ... then it'll be the terrible threes, fearsome fours, foul five's, sticky sixes and so on. The joys of parenthood :-)
