Terrible twos

Right on cue, as if she really understood what being two was all about, Zoe started having some pretty major tantrums this week. The other night, she cried and stomped her feet and fretted for quite some time over a video she wanted to watch. Yesterday morning, she threw her breakfast on the floor (not all that unusal), refused to help clean up (fairly unusual) and then cried/screamed for a good 20 minutes (quite unusual). And last night, she drew on the wall and, after I had scolded her, proceed to draw on one of our chairs.

Q was home to witness (manage) the morning incident, and when it happened the two of us just looked at each other and shook our heads/smiled. We’ve got a two-year-old now; I guess we have to learn to cope!
