My babe is turning TWO in one month and 1 day...I can't hardly stand it. I love watching her grow up, everyday is something new and exciting and I can't get enough time with her. My heart honestly grows bigger for her every second I know her. I want her to stay a little baby. I mean I don't, but really, yes, I do. It would allow me more control, more time, more say, but mostly more time...
Today, Tim and I were those parents...THOSE parents with THAT child---in the mall. The child that you see with THOSE parents, those parents who have no control, NO SAY, and the child with everything to say, attitude gallore, and well, it was humbling...to say the least. Though, I will say, we handled it like pros...poser pros, but pros all the same. We continued with the time outs despite her persistance in NOT having a time out and crying/whining/going limp when you try to pick her up or move her back to the time out...how do they know to do that at this age...go limp, just hang there, their hand in yours, you holding them up, their legs dragging on the ground...You know exactly what I'm talking about...its quite a beauty and quite genious for not quite a two year old. In her defense, she was VERY tired and we were in KOHLS, my least favorite store, hunting for men's socks...the perfect mens socks I might add, that had to meet all the right criteria. Anyway, we all survived, and I was happy that we stayed strong and remained steadfast in our convictions that a time out was in order.
I will post some Halloween pics hopefully tomorrow! (I just heard a report on the news that they've found candy that was tainted with bleach--by someone passing it out from their home. Nice.)

They do grow so fast dont they!!
Girl, I throw a fit just like that every time I have to go to Kohls!
Mine will be 18 months right about the time yours is two. I know EXACTLY what you mean about wanting them to stay a baby. And not.
I don't go shopping with my husband anymore because it takes WAY to long to find the perfect sock (and the perfect t-shirt, and the perfect jeans, and the perfect light bulb, etc.) What a beating.
thanks for reading my blog, casdok and tara! tara, i am so glad I'm not the only one with the closet high maintenance husband. ha! he pretends he doesn't care about clothes and the like, but in all reality he is SOOOOO particular! i do try avoiding shopping with him, as well. marla, i hear you on the tantrums at kohls! ha! too funny!
