Terrible Two's

So I don't forget......and so I can share with Rylan when he is older (perhaps the Daddy of a two year old!!)  I awoke one day to find my sweet, innocent little boy had turned ferocious on us!!  I have always heard about the terrible two's but had never lived them - WOW!  I want my sweet boy back....PLEASE!

I keep reminding myself, it is just a phase, its part of his development and growth - we will get through this. A short glimpse of what Rylan the ferocious has been like the past week.....

* refusing to eat for 24 hours
* I came home Saturday night from a girls night and Eric had a huge scratch on his face...apparently all Ry wanted to do was kick, bite and scratch!
* this morning I apparently didn't give him the right breakfast (even though he asked for a cinnamon bagel) it ended up on the floor with the milk right beside it
* Ry's teeth might rot out as the closest I got to brushing them in the last day was one side before he bombed the toothbrush at me and then picked it up and smeared the toothpaste down the cabinet
*Ry has discovered he can (almost) climb out of his crib and thinks it is hilarious to sit on top of the crib railing before bed/naptime and yell "neigh!, hee haw, giddy up horsie" as he pretends to ride the crib - we might be moving him to a bed sooner than planned (really want to get this on video somehow!!)
*He has been so nasty that Eric and I for sure thought he had an ear infection or something so took him in to the Dr, we were assured by the Dr he is healthy as can be and is just TWO!!!
*the stool we bought him to wash his hands and help out in the kitchen is now on top of the fridge as he thinks he can use it to get on top of the cabinets to get whatever it is he might want (knives!!!!)
*despite the evil doings of the day each night when I dance around his room with him before sleep he still tells me "I love you too!" and snuggles in with his loving pat pats and reminds me that underneath the ferocious he is still a loving, sweet little boy!!

We love you Rylan Henry (the two year old ferocious!!!)
To the moon and back!!!!
