The Terrible Twos Phase

As Allan and I await for Celest's arrival, we are facing JJ's daily Terrible 2 antics daily.

As J asserts his independence at wanting to do things himself such as:
>> wearing his own pants
>> riding his bicycle home by himself & crossing the road
>> taking chocolate from the freezer (by bringing his stool and climbing onto it)
>> climbing stairs

He will push you fiercely away if you attempt to help him or stop him.

"No", "Go away"," Don't disturb JJ" are parts of his common terms.

And he even throw tantrums in the wee hours of the night. Like last night when Allan made milk for him, he got so mad. That even when I made it for him, he refused to drink and kept whining. I waited till he cooled off a bit and told him to drink milk, tomorow we go playground and take lift which worked! He calmed down and finished his milk and went to bed.

He gets really mad at slightest thing and it puts a strain onto us. We have to understand his behavior and how to let him grow into being an independant boy without keep saying "No" to him.

Below is the link to an article which I find good and for our reference. Or urs when ur turn comes. :P

Parenthood really is a journey of discovery and exploration. While he is really sweet at times, it can drive one crazy at times. Sometimes I even wished there is an instant cane whenever I need it to discipline him.

The next one year will be an exciting one. Seeing J growing up to be able to share, empanthize and lil Celest achieving the many milestones that a baby will accomplish before turning the Big One. Mommy and Daddy are gonna be busy!

Let's get ready to embrace them with tons of our love and affections!

Love u daddy! Pls don't get mad at lil J. He doesn't mean it. He does that to anyone including me when he feels that I am interfering his decision, etc.
