Ugh! Terrible 2's are getting to me

Current mood: frustrated

I miss my little butterfly princess girl. She is changing so much and so rapidly and though some aspects are good... right now most are bad! I am talking about the infamous terrible 2's! Its no joke, its like they crept into her room at night and took my fun loving baby from me and replaced her with a unruly, angry, stubborn monster!

With each passing day she seems to be getting worse and worse, testing us more and becoming more and more difficult. I know the birth of Alex has accelerated this change as well and with my lack of rest its just making things impossible.

She demands everything, is unreasonable, refuses to listen, says No to everything and screams and cries all the time. She throws full on stomping tantrums and just drives me completely up the wall. What used to only be a rare occurrence has become the norm. Now "good Mia time" is whats rare and I often find myself crying because I miss it.

When I hold her all I can think about is how good she WAS and how difficult she IS. I don't know how I am going to handle this... I feel so torn and bad. I just hope I can get through the next year or so and things will get better... then it will be Alex's turn... grreeeaat....
