Paxton is roughly 2.25 years old. The terrible two's kicked in about a month or two after his birthday. He throws fits when he doesn't get his way, refuses to eat anything but junk food, doesn't cooperate during diaper changes (forget ANY idea of potty training), when trying to convince him to do something in particular (like eat breakfast) he doesn't agree to it until you have asked him several times, then plopped yourself on the couch, finally giving up, only to find him suddenly ready to do what was asked of him.
BUT...two is terrific! He has bookoos of personality...and he's
talking! So much so that you can carry on a conversation with him. A
DIALOGUE!!! After what feels like two years of having a mute child
(truth is he's been signing since he was a baby, but its not the same).
Now, he can tell us what is upsetting him, what he wants to eat, what
he did at school, when he goes poo poo (baby steps), and about that
alligator that got him in the middle of the night. TERRIFIC!
I've captured some of his tantrums on camera:

| After (Sometimes the camera makes it better!) |
 |
| Before ("Can we keep the dog?") |
 |
| After ("No you can't have that dog.") | | | |

| Mad at mom for taking pictures of him despite the paparazzi behind him. |
 |
| "NO!" |
