I thought somehow (like most mothers do I think) that my little Wrigglebot was the most perfect little boy; he never had tantrums, never cried for no reason, I thought I would escape the ‘terrible twos’. I have discovered that I was sadly mistaken. He is only 14 months and he is already becoming rebellious. Today he repeatedly turned the stereo on and off despite numerous ‘No’s’ and little smacks. In the end he would quickly turn it on and off and then run away before I could get him. He is devious. Although I must mention that he is very cute even when he is being devious.
He is also starting to play with blocks, building towers mostly. He gets such a sense of satisfaction just from three blocks on top of each other. But… if they don’t stack and fall then after a while he gets so frustrated that he throws the blocks away in annoyance. Food not on time = not a happy boy either. Oh well, theoretically, if this stage starts now it should be over sooner, that’s my desperate hope anyway.
