No No No

I can't remember who I recently read a post from that their child was in this stage, but boy can I relate!

This is Justin's new word, NO to everything. He might still do what I ask him to do but he will tell me NO. I am so tired of this word!!! The terrible Two's are here and I am at my wits end already. Justin has become a tyrant, Brandon was NEVER like this. We went to Kroger last night to pick up a prescription for John and OMG I was so embarrased at his fits because he wanted out of the cart. After the incident at Publix, he was not getting out. So I kept sitting him down and he kept screaming and kicking. And everytime I told him to sit or stop I got NOOOOOOO!!!

Is it too late to decide I don't want another child????

You'll be ok...they seem to move on to the next phase just around the time you are starting to plot the murder
2 is one of my favourite ages. They just start to get their real personalities at that age
Skye and Breeze play up when we go shopping or out anywhere for that matter, so we avoid taking them with us. I go grocery shopping when they are both at school and day care and if I need to go shopping when they are home, I shop over the net. The only time I take them to the store with me is when I need no more than 5 items and I'm outta there real quick

Nick says no to everything to. Sometimes no means yes, depends on his tone, lol. I love this stage.

If he is used to getting out of the cart then it might take several trips before he realizes you are not going to give in. Hang in there. Do you take a snack and a cup? That helps Nick stay calm longer.

When I tell Emily to do something, and she responds by saying, "No!" I say back, "I am TELLING YOU not ASKING you, so you don't need to say anything back to me." I used this in my classroom when kids would talk back to me, and it worked. It has worked with Emily, too. My nephew used to talk back to my sister, and I told her to start telling him that, and it has worked with him. Justin is a little bit younger than Emily (she was born 1/11/03) but I bet if you started telling him that now, it wouldn't take long for him to understand.

Tara, what was supposed to be a quick run in, pick up precalled prescriptions ended up being 1/2 hour because they forgot to fill one I called. So of course, I was not prepared for anything.

Elizabeth is 3 and I still have to bribe her..."if you stay in the cart you can have a coke" What child would pass that up?

I have no words of wisdom...all I can offer is lots of
