Two is TOUGH! (Just ask Aiden)

Who knew being two could be so hard? Aiden did, apparently.

Since taking the binky away last week, we've had our fair share of ups and downs. Well, mostly downs, to be quite honest. Aiden has regressed a bit with his "bad behaviors," including hitting, yelling, and the like. It isn't pretty.

I try to remind myself (about 100 times a day) what it must feel like to be two. He hasn't had 27 whole years, like I have, to figure out how to control his emotions and act accordingly. Aiden just acts like, well, Aiden. He is a typical two-year old, I think--yelling when he gets mad, hitting when he doesn't get his way. I am trying my very best to teach him to respect his parents and be a nice boy. I like to think that he really is a good, sweet boy--he just has trouble expressing it sometimes!

One thing he is very good at these days is helping his sissy:) He loves to help her "play" with her toys, give Ava her lovey (Pinky Bear), and hug her and tell me that she is "so cute." He is becoming very affectionate with her and it is very heartwarming to witness!

One thing is for sure, being two is tough. I hope that it gets easier as the year goes on, but only time will tell. I guess they don't call it the Terrible Two's for nothing!
