It tough being two

Saige is really trying to show us who is boss. I really dislike this phase. It just plain sucks having to get on to her a lot lately.

The other day at school I packed a 100 calorie chex mix for the girls. They LOVE them (hahaha). That day I also packed some peaches in a container for them. Saige needed helping opening both containers but would not say please. Her teachers asked her to say it over and over and thats when the "stand off" began. She just stared at them. Her teachers decided not to give in to her and would not open the rest of her lunch. (She had a few things she COULD open by herself so she didn't go hungry!) I'm glad they did this though. She needs to learn that she can't control everything.

It is much worse at home though. She won't listen to us one bit. We've tried different discpline methods for a while and one that seems to work best is time out and not letting her have her way. It seems to be working. I've heard over and over that three's are worse and if thats the case count me out! :)
