Daniel, Daniel, Quite Contrary
Daniel, Daniel, quite contrary
How does your day go?
Napless, whining, wanting your way
And lots of “No, No, No, No, No!”
Daniel is 32 months. He was so easy-going and laid-back for the last several months that I thought we had perhaps escaped the Terrible Twos.
Au contraire. In the last few weeks, it’s like someone flipped a switch, and he has started to demand his way. And the whining when he doesn’t get his way is a-may-zing. He’s also become very fond of saying the opposite of what he means, which is quite maddening:
Me: Daniel, do you want to go outside?
Daniel: No, not go outside.
Me: Ok, we’ll stay inside.
Daniel: (on the verge of tears) Go outside! Go outside!
Thankfully, he’s still pretty cute
