Caleb the Monster....

We went to TK's Jungle for Julius' birthday and Caleb's terrible twos came out....he threw a fit when the lady wanted to put a wristband on him....threw another fit when she realized that she had put on the wrong color and needed to put on another one....cried and didn't want to go into any of the 'bouncy' rooms....didn't want to eat anything...(except for the chips that I had to pay extra for)....didn't want to sit and drink his juice with all the other kids...didn't want to be near the other kids....didn't want cake....didn't want to take his shoes off and THEN didn't want to put his shoes back on....(SIGH)....

I thought that I had gotten off easy with the terrible twos....turns out he just hadn't released the monster yet. Parents were coming up to me and patting me on the shoulder saying "don't worry, it'll get better"...and I'm thinking "When did I become the sympathy mom???!!!! The mom that people feel sorry for since their toddlers are acting CRAZY!!???"....

At the end of the day, Caleb comes to me to cuddle and asks me to sit beside him to watch his WowWowWubbzy....and when he puts his little head next to mine, I breathe....and hug his little monster butt right back....
