Wow, has it been 2 months since I blogged already? It certainly doesnt seem that long, especially when you have to pander to the every need of a rebellious gal in her terrible twos. Well, Kaelyn is 1 month short of her 2-year birthday but she's already showing signs of the defiant age, since a few months back.
We are all so exhausted by her - from Gong gong to Popo to Nai nai to Papa to Mama all the way to our helper. When mild, she'll just say 'I dont want' or run away from you if you try to make her sleep, eat or change her diapers. At times, she will be screaming, crying and kicking and grabbing everything in her way to hurl them as far as she can. 'I dont want pacifier! I dont want Ernie! (her fav toy) I dont want this! I dont want that!...... And the house is like a war zone after her display.
We've tried both the 'hard' and 'soft' approach with her. The 'hard' approach doesnt seem to work as well. e.g. scolding her or hitting her hand. Distracting her with something else usually seems to do the trick, but not before lots of struggling, coaxing, carrying etc before that.
