I think I have found the master. All of my kids have gone through it. I thought Jordan was the ultimate in the terrible twos when he was 18 months. I said to my doctor, I swear, he’s hit the terrible twos already. He said, actually he’s in them now. The terrible twos refer to the year between 1 and 2 – the second year of life. Makes sense.
Christiano has Jordan beat hands down. That child can go from bouncing and bubbly to all out tantrum in 15 seconds flat (and have a faster turner around back to bouncy and bubbly).
The other night he threw a huge huge tantrum. Huge. Pato had gone down to do laundry and Nano wanted to go. He walked down with Pato and Jordan and I do not know what happened, but next thing I know, I hear Christiano throwing a monster tantrum, screaming in the hallway. It was coming closer so I knew someone was bringing him back. Jordan opened the door, he had Nano slung over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes because Nano kept dropping to the floor doing spaghetti body when Jordan was trying to pick him up.
I took him and brought him to my bed. I said, it’s time for night night. He said UH UH! And started throwing himself all over the bed. I just sat there and waited, making sure he wasn’t throwing himself off the bed. Pato came back in. He laid down with him. Nano didn’t want that either. He started screaming harder, throwing himself this way and that.
After a few minutes of this, he sighed, sat up, took a drink of his juice, and said – be good now.
I looked at Pato. Did he just say, be good now?
Nano said NO! and acted like he was ready to start it all over again.
Ok, ok, ok, you didn’t say be good now.
He laid down in Pato’s arm and went to sleep.
Yep, he was ready to be good now.
He is not even 2 yet and he cracks me up with the things he says.
Not with the tantrums.
Those are horrible.
He did it when I took Jordan to the doctor’s office to x-ray his wrist. He was walking beside me and I opened the door. I said, climb in your car seat. Uh-uh. He tried to run away from me, but I was quicker and grabbed him. He did spaghetti body and dropped to the parking lot and started a massive tantrum. Not the safest (or warmest right now) place to throw a tantrum, so I picked him up, pinned him in his seat, and buckled him in.
He was fine after about 30 seconds of “I want daddy!!!!!”
And this people is one of the reasons that Nano is my 4th and final child. I am so over the terrible twos. Only 2 1/2 months or so to go of these, right?
Ha ha! Like they end with the calendar.
I’ve got some soccer stuff about Jordan and some more new products in my Cafepress store, but I think I’ll save those for their own posts. Nano can shine all on his own in this one.
Have a great day!

Yep for the last 5 minutes he just threw himself to the floor, stood up, screamed, threw himself to the floor, screamed, stood up….all because he couldn’t play with my phone.
