Terrible Almost Threes?

I am hoping that this picture is a lot cuter than what her mug shot will look like! In the past few weeks my little angel has turned into a terror! I do admit that her fits of rage are not all day long but close to. I will also admit that she can still be very sweet, I am now just wary of her when she is being so nice. For one thing, she is much too smart for her own good. She feels like she should be doing things that her sisters are doing and she gets real angry when she can't. We are having trouble with just about everything she used to be fine with. Bedtime is a struggle when it was fine only a month ago. She will fight tooth and nail to stay up, when we do get her in bed she is asleep before her head hits the pillow. We are not asking her to go to bed at 5 or 6, she goes to bed around 8:30 usually. She has become impossible to feed. Suddenly, she likes...well, nothing! Okay, she likes "snacks". I tell her she needs to eat lunch then she can have a snack. You would have thought I just shot the child with all the screaming she does. Sometimes I look at her in disbelief, wondering how it is possible for that much noise to come out of such a little body! When it comes to playing games she is bossy and if it is not done to her standards then we get to witness an interesting rolling fit on the floor. She can writhe as if she were in pain for a fair amount of time. Getting dressed has been an issue for quite some time, but at least she used to be okay with wearing clothes when we left the house. Now, it is a battle. I have to hold her down just to brush her hair. She will see the hairbrush and take off running down the hallway. She will look for anyone who is around and with tears flowing she tells them that I hit her! Matt says to me, "what did you do to her?". Of course, I didn't do anything--yet! Because, after all that chasing and crying I still have to brush her hair! So, for the twenty minutes of whining and shouting, it takes only two or three to get the job done. I am trying to wait patiently for the day that my sweet Addy comes back to me. Let's just hope this is only a stage!
