My normally cute, sweet 2 year old is going through a rough spell right now. He is demostrating a split personality...
Sweet Leighton:
1-Tells his daddy "I lub you daddy" & wants a hug whenever daddy leaves for work.
2-Loves to hold his baby sister.
3-Enjoys playing with his big brother.
4-Sits with mommy, plays with her hair & gives hugs.
Sour Leighton:
1-Throws temper tantrums & screams loudly when told no.
2-Pokes sister repeatedly in the nose or head until she cries.
3-Pinches, hits & pulls Brecken's hair when big brother antagonizes him (or does this sometimes unprovoked).
4-Hits at mommy when she tells him no or to stop doing something.
Molars? Adjusting to new baby? Terrible twos? Testing boundaries? I think he's got a lot going on...but wow, hope this phase passes soon! It's a lot of work for mommy with disciplining...almost more exhausting than being up in the night with a newborn! Thankfully, sweet Leighton is around much more often than sour Leighton. Hopefully the visits from sour Leighton cease :)

Tiff- this sounds soooooo familiar! I wish we could trade kids for a day- I think that'd be good for all of us!
Oh, the tantrums to the word "No" or "Please don't do that" sound familiar too!! Let's hope "This too shall pass" :-) I really like your new header on the blog page of the three kids in bed. Very cute.
