Not so "terrible" two's...

I remember a few months ago writing a post about how the terrible two's aren't really all that terrible. You know the one I linked that article to about how at this age children are doing crucial learning and therefore feel like their lives depend on getting their ways. 

Well from the time my first son was born I really tried to take each and every phase he came across one day at a time. With patience and understanding. Afterall, he's only a child and still learning how to process all his emotions. I can't talk about this without wanting to burst out in laugher! Recently my two year old has wanted to explore picking his clothes. 

I find the entire thing hilarious, but not at 6:30am when I have to be up at 8 for work. I know he means well, but it can be so frustrating when all I want to do is get some extra shut eye. He brings me like 60 pieces of clothing asking me to help him change his clothes.

I'll be honest. Although quite frustrating at that time in the morning I enjoy it. I see it as a way of him developing his sense of self. A way of him getting in tune with his likes and dislikes, so even though I don't enjoy getting woken up soooo early I'll let him keep exploring. They are only this little once! 

Until next time! :)
