Happy two year old birthday Abby - be good and have fun!!

Thank you everyone who has wished Abby a happy bday. BUT

unfortunately it has been anything but HAPPY....she's just been

horrible today!!! I'm so frustrated. She had been so good for a

couple weeks and bang, she flipped the switch back to rotten this

morning. I took her grocery shopping w/me like usual. She loves

shopping with me (as long as it isn't the mall!). So the second we

got inside she thrashed & threw her fit in the cart, then proceeded

to throw her sippy cup which of course hit some poor innocent man!!

I was so embarrassed. She then threw a fit during EVERY aisle I

turned into, then emptied an entire shelf of fiddle faddle onto the

floor. I picked all 20 boxes back up, then she grabbed one from my

hand & whipped across the aisle is utter anger.! OMG - I couldn't

get out of that store fast enough!!

So I had to bring my hubby lunch a bit later, we go to 's, get

into 's work where she again throws a fit then whipped her sippy

cup again! Man, that thing can do some damage!

Thank goodness she's napping now, but wowza. The terrible 2's have

come in with a HUGE bang!

I swear I'd rather go thru labor all over again w/o an epidural, that

was much less painful than my day thus far - it's only noon!!!

Hoping she'll be better for her big bday party tomorrow afternoon at

Piper Pizza - Clifford theme of course.

Thanks again!

Sorry to hear about the birthday grouch. At least you'll have a

funny story when she is older.

Yesterday my 2 year old took crayons and paper to the dog and

said " Flower, draw pictures. " Then she got mad that Flower didn't

obey and started throwing a tantrum. The dog looked so confused. It

was so hard not to laugh. She was really mad that the dog wasn't

coloring!

Tomorrow will be a better day!

OMG - the next time I'm grumpy or stressed out, I'm just going

to email you & ask for one of your daughter's stories! They always

crack me up & put a huge grin on my face. She sounds SO stinking

cute, now if only Abby would get to that stage!

I just got off the phone with my older sister, who is preparing her 5

yr old daughter's 2 stuffed animal dogs to be married. She had to

curl 's hair for her, put her dress on, and make her a bouquet

as she was the dog's flower girl! Ahhhhh, I can't wait for those

things to happen with Abby.

Wow Debbie! What a day! Sounds like a nap was definitely in order! Hopefully she'll be better once she's up!

Good luck tomorrow, and let us know how it goes!

Well I am VERY happy to report, Abby's attitude has definitely

improved. Last night when hubby got home, he put her in time out in

her crib for a few mins.. Well the next thing we know, Abby is

standing in front of us in our living room with a huge grin &

says " hi " .....OH NO, that met she climbed out of her crib for the

first time !!!!!!!!!!! After that she was much happier & much more

tolerable!!!

I'm just thankful she didn't hurt herself climbing out of the crib,

but now it looks like time for a big girl bed for the 2 yr old. I'm

really surprised she didn't climb out already, she's such a good

climber on everything else! She slept fine in her crib last night

though, but I kept waking up making sure she was still in it and not

awake watching a video of Clifford at 3 am!

So I'm hoping she is well behaved for her party this afternoon. It

snowed bad here last night so she's all excited about that (not me).

Ha, ha, ha!!!! I had a dream one night that had crawled out of her bed

and when I went to check on her I couldn't find her. I looked all around and

finally found her sitting in the family watching Bear in the Big Blue

House!!! This reminded me of that dream - I can just picture Abby kicking

back in her Lazyboy chair watching Clifford. LOL - too funny!!!

Wow - I guess it is time for the big girl bed! is switching to the big

girl bed at the beginning of April.

Marci:

LOL, I have several pics of Abby sitting in her little rocking chair

with her feet up on HER footstool, sippy cup in hand, and of course

her blankie watching HER TV It is so funny!

I'm so scared to switch her into a toddler bed, I finally have her

sleeping so well. Maybe I'll let you put in her big girl bed

first & see how she does, she can be my guinea pig .

Debbie -

We switched Olivia to a toddler bed when she was 20 months old. We

were going to get a twin, but thought a toddler bed would be more

comforting and you can use the crib mattress. We got her this bed:

http://www.step2company.com/playline/childfurniture.html (click on

snooze 'n cruise bed) You can get it at Toys 'R Us or Babies 'R Us.

We think the roof makes it comforting to her. She has only ever

gotten out of bed once during the night and that was when she had a

super bad nightmare. We figured she would be runing around the

house because she was always climbing out of the crib, but we

haven't had those issues. She isn't a big fan of napping, but she

will at least spend some quiet time in there during the day. It

might only be 10 minutes.

You can put bumper stickers on it too!

Just thought you might want to know....

Ha, ha, ha! I think will be going into her big girl bed at the

crib you might beat me to it!!
