Terrible Twos

We've officially hit the "terrible twos" stage with Isaiah. The girls hit it at 18 months and again at 3 years old, but he's right on schedule! HA! Actually, I think most of it is the "boy" factor, but he's into everything . . . how does this work? what would happen if I put this here? and most annoying, leaving a path of destruction wherever he goes!

For example, I'll just get the livingroom straightened up and start working on the kitchen when I go to check on said screaming child and I notice the livingroom is trashed again. Sometimes I stand over him and make him clean it all up, but who has hours in a day to do that?? So sometimes it's just easier to put him in his room and clean it up myself. (See picture below) He isn't too thrilled with being stuck in his room with lots of toys, books and fun things to do! We are trying to teach him to pick up one thing before he leaves it to play with another, but that takes time . . .

Another part of this phase is his eating habits . . . he could eat constantly the entire time he's awake! I know he's a growing boy and needs to eat, but again who has hours in a day to feed said child?? That and this is what we deal with at mealtime when he SHOULD be eating . . .

BUT THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
