According to everyone I know... there is no way to avoid the terrible twos. This blanket term refers to the impressive little tantrums that a two year old can throw.
Last night, as my son was throwing the 150th temper tantrum screaming for "MORE DRINK, MOMMY, MORE DRINK!" I couldn't help but wonder if maybe he was born with the terrible twos. Lets face it, my son has been mastering tantrums since he first entered the world and the doctor said, "Man this kid has some healthy lungs!" Seriously we've been dealing with this kind of stuff for a long time. I think that makes me an expert on temper tantrums!
We've been working with him for several months now on using his "calm voice" when he needs something instead of crying for it. He is such an intense baby! When he's hungry, he screams for food. When he's thirsty, he screams for his drink. When his diaper is dirty, he screams, "I POO POO! I POO POO! DIAPER!!!!!!"
I've heard that the terrible twos can be extremely stressful. Maybe, for most people, that's true. But for us? I think, at this point, we're pretty equipped to handle it!
