It's been one of those weeks...
I feel like I'm in a constant battle with Charlie. He seriously used to be so easy going. Terrible twos is a very real thing....
He learned how to climb out of his crib...naptime and bedtime are terrible parts of the day and I feel like I'm the worst person in the world. He's crying and screaming the whole time. Thank God for short memories on little ones...all is forgiven when they wake up. But still...I feel awful.
And then there is the whole 'being too physical' thing...
I know he's not a bully. I know he's just trying to communicate what he wants. But all of a sudden, it's been pushing, and pulling hair, and biting...Not everyday, but definitely today. We had some friends over...everytime someone cried, it was because of Charlie. Charlie hit, or pulled hair, or something. I feel like I'm doing a terrible mom job...He is so freakin' stubborn and independent. I feel like I haven't really figured out the best way to communicate with him, or the best way to discipline him. Nothing seems to stick.
I know he's only 2. I know he doesn't understand a lot of concepts, like, wait your turn, or take turns. He doesn't get it yet. And that will come. I just don't know what to do...
Not being able to communicate is the biggest cause behind the terrible twos...at least in my opinion.
I just feel like a crap mom.
