Terrible 2's???

Are they coming??? Ughhhhh....Kaylea is getting sooooo rebelious!! I just want to wear her tail out sometimes. Well, and sometimes i do and it just doesn't phase her. I think she's numb to pain. She is in the climbing stage and is climbing on everything! In the recliner (and when she can't quite make it she throws a tantrum), in the glider, if there's a table next to the chair that she has climbed in, well, she climbs on that. The girl has no fear at all! We covered our hearth at our fireplace with fabric and she climbs on it and tries standing up. She tries standing up in the chairs too. Ughhhh....she can't be left alone for 2 seconds or i'm afraid that she will break her neck! The bad thing is, she'll just look at me when she starts to do it. It's like she saying in her head when she looking straight at me and is saying "i'm about to stand up so just watch. i know you don't want me to and maybe you won't even notice if i do it very slowly" Who knows. I guess this too shall pass.

While we were on vacation we saw a lady that had triplets. Since we were on vacation with another couple that had a one year old, her kids thought that they might be triplets. They walked over to our table and asked if they were triplets and we told them no that my set were twins and that was our friends little girl. She proceeded to tell me that she had 8 year old triplets and that it gets much easier. She said that if i can just make it to 3 years old then it's a breeze. COME ON 3!!!! We were talking about "schedules" and she said that anybody that just has a single baby doesn't know the importance of a "schedule" to mom's of multiples. Boy, was she right. People usually think i'm just being over-reactive when i say "what time will it be or what time do you want to go" and when they say a time that's in their nap schedule I just pass. They are like "can't you just work it to where they nap earlier or later." Ummmmm....nope. Sure can't. I was glad that our friends heard her say that. Their little girl had no schedule whatsoever on vacation. By the end of the vacation she was about on Drew and Kaylea's.

I still haven't heard from Kaylea's EEG. This is just ridiculous! I can't believe how long it is taking. I'm on hold now with the doctors office to see if they have the results. I'm really wanting to get them so that i can schedule a visit with the neurologist so that we can get her off of this medicine. With the assumption that the EEG was fine and she doesn't need it.

We go to a speech therapist on Monday to see if she has any techniques and tricks to see if she can get Kaylea to eat more than she does. She just won't even try anything new and it is soooo frustrating!

Ok, just got a phone call back and the EEG was negative. Thank you Lord!! So, the next step is to get her off of this medicine. It's kindof scary to think about. I mean, she's been on it practically all of her life and it's such a strong medicine. But, this is what i want. I don't want to wait for her to "grow out of it." I want to get her off of it asap. I need to go and get an appt scheduled with the neurologist.

After my granddaughter started walking, she began climbing. One day I went to see them and noticed that there bungee cords(those stretchy things to secure things in back of pickups) around all the dining chairs holding them against the table. My son said, "B is climbing." They had to take down her big brother's bunk beds. Yes, take heart, this stage will pass.
