I'm Not Happy!

Addysen seems to have a new motto lately and it is all about her not being happy! As I sit here trying to concentrate on my writing, I can hear her voice upstairs. That high pitched whine accompanied by the forced cry are about to make me shove pencils in my ears! She has started a new phase, one that can go ahead and be done already. My sweet little princess has disappeared within the last week or two. Her body has been taken over by a bratty, uncooperative, stubborn to the core, poop-head! She is on the outer part of terrible two's since she will be three in two months so, I am hoping this will be short lived! It has gotten so awful that she is having to take naps again just so we can tolerate her all night. She will no longer eat dinner with the family. Normally I would insist that she sit down and eat, but now, it is a battle that I do not wish to fight. When I choose to take her on I need to be prepared for war! She has the stamina to throw a fit all night. Don't even think about asking her to wait for something, that will only lead to her throwing herself on the floor and screaming....loudly!! I am very good at holding my ground, but now I have two little boys watching her and they learn very quickly. I do not give into her, I just move her to a different spot to have a fit. Somewhere the rest of us don't have to listen to her. I found her yesterday tossing all of her brothers clothes out of the drawers and onto the floor. I couldn't believe it! She is somewhat over the coloring issues we were having, so that is good. Now, if we could just get back on track with the listening thing.
