Terrible Twos

Lindsey is so cute and is a joy to have but she is now in the middle of the Terrible Twos. This is a stage in a toddlers life where they try to be more independant but cannot express their needs very good still. So Lindsey has not been a very good listener or obeying us very much and she has been getting into everything with more messes. She likes to write on the walls especially. Tanner went through the same thing when he was about three and I'm so grateful that he has been out for a while. A couple of things for advise to all others:

Spend more time watching out for what they do! Start using time-out and take away priviliges for bad actions. DO NOT GIVE IN because Tantrums will occur. Make sure you continually go over rules and set limits for things and even start giving them small choices of what they want with your guidance.

As we are doing these things it is a little easier to transition through. A good thing is that Lindsey is alot more helpful and is great at picking and cleaning up a few things.
