Bumps in the Road

Double diapers

The wee man has been really testing these past few days.  Is it because he's two, or because of his baby sister?  Whatever the reason, please tell me it won't last... please.

For example, when I went to warm his early morning milk, his usual blue sippy cup was in the dishwasher.  Instead of washing it, I just grabbed the green one.  What a mistake.  'Don't want it!', 'Where's the blue one?!', 'No, no, no!' was his response, in between his crying.

And all of a sudden he'll refuse to wear any new clothes.  He'll only wear items that he's already worn in the past.  That's not too bad if it lasts a few days but this has been going on for months, so you can imagine our options are becoming more and more limited.

Thankfully not all his grievances are long term.  Some just last a day.  Like yesterday when he insisted that every bite of cereal had to have a piece of banana in it.  If it didn't it wasn't getting eaten.

What have we created?  Tell us it will change!
