Ben is heavily into the terrible twos. He runs around the house all day and gets into EVERYTHING. Constantly. And when I tell him no, he laughs. HE LAUGHS AT ME. How frustrating is that? I will tell you. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. He is at daycare today all day for the first time and let me say that it is the best thing for all parties. I was about ready to tape the child abuse hotline phone number to my fridge in case things got really bad.When I found out I was having a boy I panicked because I envisioned only the stage we are at right now. The stage where the toddler boy runs around the house and pulls things off the shelves and throws things everywhere and ignores every thing you say to him. And now we are there. We are living the nightmare phase and I am about to have ANOTHER BOY. I feel like I am sinking down into the quicksand and soon nothing will remain of me except the shell of who I was and a closeted suburban mom drinking habit.
