almost three

and chris and i are recalling that the terrible twos are not that terrible– that it's the year 3 that is more difficult! IMG_2576

we had some film that needed to be finished off the other day so we trekked around our town to some of our favorite spots to shoot. she was not having it.

me having to break it down for her 🙂

i think it's hilarious that she can go from one extreme to another so quickly.

finally we give up. and she's more than ready to move on with her day!

trying to just find the patience and take lots of deep breaths. she's not big on tantrums, it's the way she tries to reason with me that gets me. E: 'how come?….why?….i want kix.(i get kix) no i said cheerios…no i want eggs, i said eggs!.. (aaaaaah!!!) sometimes it makes me want to pull my hair out and other times i can't help but totally laugh. love her.

  1. Love those photos! I guess we both need a lot of patience. I have a little girl who just turned two and sometimes she can be a handful. She’s always on the go and at two, she’s also starting to reason with me. There are times I just want to cry but I pause and take a deep breathe and then she gives me that big smile and she’s my little angel again. Haha kids!

  2. Oh Jamie, I can SOOOOOOO sympathise with you!! My nearly 4 year old is driving me with the “but Why’s”… and she can go from angel to the exorcist in 7 seconds…
    Some one once said to me it’s the Terrific Twos, Terrible Threes and Fantastic Fours…

  4. Couldn’t agree more with the age issue. Terrible two’s – no not really, but terrible three’s – definitely! My youngest is 3 and a half and boy he’s feisty at the moment, I’m hoping it’s just a temporary thing!

  5. Have you ever seen the Spongebob episode where the father is driving in a car with his kid and the kid has an ice cream cone and is crying and the father says to him, “but you said you wanted pistachio!” That is totally my two year old right now!

  6. That is so my 2.5 year old right now. Especially the flip-flopping of wanting things. I’ll say it’s time to eat and she’ll say “No, i don’t want to eat.” Then 5 seconds later “I have to eat!”
    I’m trying to take deep breaths and have patience too but it sure is hard. Good thing i love her so much:)
