True Toddlerhood

I knew it was coming. Really, I did. Everyone had warned me. But for some strange reason I got so lost in the bliss and joy of 12 months old that I seem to have been taken completely by surprise by 14 months and True Toddlerhood. Logan is back to displaying his clingy, impatient, irritable behavior again which shows up in constant screaming and crying over every little frustration. He somehow manages to get frustrated A LOT. And now Forest has joined in The Fun of True Toddlerhood. It reminds me a lot of the first four months all over again. It’s a little easier and yet not really.

Taking them outside helps, a lot. But on the rainy or cold days that’s obviously not doable. Lucky for us Texans spring is just around the corner so I won’t have to worry about that for much longer. And since we don’t have a usable backyard, I’m glad to have Dusty’s backyard at his new house just down the street. Taking the boys to the park by myself is now out because they know how to climb all over the play scape but aren’t able to do so safely yet. So Dusty’s backyard it is. We need to get one of those cute little swing sets or something, a slide maybe. All I know is that I’m back to developing new coping techniques for the current age. It’s back to the drawing board.

I should have known that the bliss of 12 months was too good to be true. It’s always an important sign. Just when things start to seem easy and settled, change is about to happen.
