I do not want the Terrible Twos. DO NOT WANT. I really don’t have the patience…as today proved.
He has been good so far…but today, I took him to get his hair cut (which is never really FUN, but even with the crying and snotty nose it’s usually not THAT big of a deal) and he started crying and screeching before I could even get his coat off.
The sucker didn’t help.
He didn’t want to play in the water.
He didn’t want to watch Word World (which ALWAYS works).
He didn’t want to play with the comb.
He didn’t want to sit on my lap.
And you can’t hold him down.
Needless to say we left without him getting so much as his hair combed.
Owen: 1
Mommy: 0
I laughed it off at the salon, but I really just wanted to scream at him (which I know wouldn’t do any good, it was just my first reaction). And I never did scream at him but I did tell him sternly that mommy was NOT happy. I’m sure it didn’t register but I felt a little better.
I know in the grand scheme of things a haircut is not a big deal but its just so damn frustrating. And I know it’s only the beginning.
🙁
Had I known that was going to be the case, I would have tried it myself!!! :##
