Compared to Caleb she has always been "my difficult one". She has a firecracker, strong willed, fearless personality, and is so up my booty that I can't get anything accomplished. This is all now combined with the early toddlerhood stage of wanting independence, testing limits, frustration because they can not communicate and tantrums. Literally I feel like I may get one hour total during the day (aside from nap) where she is happy.
Also, even though she cries when I leave her, she isn't a fuss with other people like she is for me. Nick tells me how she happily played and laughed for him the whole time I was away, an. as soon as I come through the door she starts screaming again....! I am left with a big question mark as to why to do??
I know that this is a hard stage, and I know that it does get easier, but I do lt always know that I am going to get through the day. I ignore, I cuddle, I put her in time out, I hold her......nothing works. She screams if you give her what she wants, and she screams if you don't. Basically my day is filled with her following me around screaming as I care for 5 kids, and try to maintain a house. I know this too shall pass, but for the first time since I became a mom I am actually wishing for her to be a little older......(sorry for the vent).
Kinlee know mama loves you no matter how you act, but I may secretly wish a daughter just like you upon you! ;)

I'm serious. She is so adorable it's crazy.
This post totally describes my daughter! We're expecting another girl in October, and I'm worried about them BOTH being so strong willed! :P I was so like this as a child too, so I feel like God is 'getting me back'! LOL.
