ThE tErRIbLe TwOs

heres arden at famous daves, we had to tell her the pig was gunna come to our table if she didnt sit down and eat
heres a classic example of a tantrum..
blue ice cream,root beer popcicles, tantrums, the backyardagains surfer dude toy, m&ms, tantrums again, a new blow up "fwimming" pool and stripping naked on the front porch, waking up at 7am, my little ponies on repeat,spilling rice crispies everywhere, riding the dog, screaming at the top of your lungs...scratching and pulling hair,begging to wear my lingeree to the store because they are your fairy dresses,pouring pee pee on the bathroom floor and insisting on wiping it up,changing your clothes four times daily because of stains,throwing your doll out the car window then screaming bloddy murder,digging into potted plants and throwing the dirt on the floor,standing up in the cart at the store,climbing out and falling,calling people in my phone to breathe in it,peeing the bed, putting on my makeup,wiping with an entire roll of toilet paper, being my human blanket at night "snuggle me" the pickyness,the tears,and the giggles... all this and i'd have you ten more times if i had too. arden i love you and i love your terrible twos. but dear lord please make em go by fast...im losing my sanity:)
today i went with a friend (whos due for baby #2 any day now) to babys r us and found myself wanting to buy all the cute stuff and set up the crib, i swear the cutest baby even looked up at me with sparkley eyes and said "hi"...then i looked at arden, hanging out of the cart screaming bloddy murder for no reason, dirty face and all (precious dirty face that is)and thought: oh hell no not yet. and thats the truth.
