Sharing about our twos-threes

Our youngest 2 children, girls,one is 3 on her way to 4 in a
hurry, and the other almost 2. I admit the 2 yr old is WORSE, but they are like
2 peas in a pod. They are bossy, challenging, and take control little Queen
Bees. The youngest is by far the more dominant one - she even tries to push me
around figuratively and literally. These girls I feel are very strong minded
(AKA stubborn) and opinonated.

While these traits will come in handy later in their lives, right now they are
creating havoc when they get a chance. They are terrific problem solvers and
nuthing is safe, even if locked up and nailed down. They canot be left w/o
supervision for an instant - unless you enjoy scrubbing the carpet, washing the
walls, and vaccuuming the floors more than breathing. Putting them into giant locked dog crates has come to mind. Ha ha.

That said- I LOVE them! I loved their spiritedness, strong minds, intellects, and personalities. But I gotta tell ya! - you have to know how to handle them just right, or you can spend your entire day or week emotionally exhausted from trying to fight them. I hesitate to have babysitters... I like my house standing.
