Where did she get those lungs?!!

Today Alex was reading the story of Noah and the Ark to me before nap time. I was a bit surprised to hear, in her version of the story, that Santa Claus had a big boat in which he put 4 of every animal.

At 18 months I thought that the terrible 2's had arrived early, and by the time Alex actually turned 2 (12 days ago) I figured we had this child more or less under control. Unfortunately I was wrong and a moody little teenager has moved in and taken over where my little baby once lived. She hits, she screams, she throws herself on the floor, she makes messes deliberately and REFUSES to clean them up, she ignores me all the time and must always get her own way. Somehow in the last 2 weeks she learned how to scream like a banshee. She is a wonderful little girl 80% of the time, but boy, you thought Mr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde was something, you should see Alexandria Brady.

I don't know if it is my frustration that grows with my limited mobility, or crazy pregnant hormones, but I swear she is deliberately trying to make life hard. Tyler has tried to convince me that these are normal 2 hear old behaviors, and that I'm the crazy one ( the fact that Tyler is the calm and rational one telling me this, makes me think he might be right), but with 4 weeks left until baby 2 is set to arrive, I'm starting to rethink if I can do this?!! All I know is that another c-section is OUT OF THE QUESTION because i'm going to need every ounce of strength, and every advantage I can get if I am going to survive the month of May.
