So sometime last night, my son apparently had a dream in which someone (I would guess they were from Hades) taught him how to say "no" to everything, all the live-long day.
"Jamie, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
"No!"
"Okay, you're all done with your food?"
"No!"
"Oh, you want to eat some more?"
"No!!"
"Do you want the food, or not?"
"NO!"
"Okay, I'll take your tray away."
"NOOOO!!!"
Etcetera.
Lol. Okay, now that he's asleep and it's blessedly quiet, it is a little funny. Not so much in the moment though. But I guess it's normal. I got my What to Expect newsletter of the day, and this exact thing was the topic--the author and most of the commenters all had kids who went from sweet to sinister practically overnight, almost exactly when they turned 2. Weird. Click here for the blog entry if you're interested.
Oh, and after keeping up in this fashion at Wal-Mart (nothing to do with eating then, but you get the idea), he was instantly smiley and charming for the missionaries behind us in line and for the checker lady, who said he was the cutest thing she'd ever seen. Little punk.

2/2/11: I just realized what it says on that kid's shirt, and that I may have unknowingly put across what might look like a political opinion...I don't even watch the news, so please pretend his onesie is blank.

Hahaha that really is kind of funny. And sounds exactly like Chloe. A little angel in front of all the people ooohing and ahhhing over her but a little heathen when we are alone. :)
Yep. Same here. I've said before, EVERYthing is a struggle with Ollie.I just keep telling myself, "It's just a phase... It's just a phase...". Unfortunately, with Ollie, I don't think the phase will be over until she's grown up and out of the house. Hang in there!
At least he manages the angel part. Some two year olds are terrors 24/7.
I love that you called him a little punk! SO FUNNY! I call my kid little turds. Not very sweet, but VERY FUNNY!:)
