The Terrible Twos....9 Months Early!

Oh my, oh my, Mr. Joel has discovered his temper in the last few days.....and it hasn't been pretty! In his defense, I think he is getting some back teeth and has been running a small fever with that, but his attitude has been less than stellar! He has developed a fascination with electrical outlets, and loves to unplug and replug anything he can get his hands on. Keeping him from getting electrocuted is a full-time job for me! He does NOT like being told "no", and has started a theatrical performance when he is unhappy: he throws himself on the ground, face buried in the carpet, and cries like his little heart is broken! (See picture below.) Hopefully this is not a preview of the "terrible twos". He did not nap much at all today and fell asleep quickly with his bottle. He looks so sweet and innocent all curled up in his bed! Almost makes you forget all the screaming.....More later...
