Beaner has decided that this is the week where she's going to be a total wanker to her Dad and I. Every simple request, every established routine, every favorite, is all being rejected, or thrown at us. Our sweet, easy going toddler is nowhere to be found and in her place is this raging beast who is prone to melt down if the cat dares to look in her general direction.
As a first time Mom, I'm flying blind here. Is this a phase? Am I oversensitive because I'm tired and I'm making too much of it? Is she feeding off my crap mood? Am I a horrible mother? Was she switched out with robobitchbaby and we are just noticing now?
So many questions, zero answers.
She had me up all night and was then awake for the day at 5am this morning. Of course, meltdowns are rampant today so she's been put down for an unprecedented early nap. She's currently screaming at me from her crib about the pillow she just threw across the room in anger. I'm sorry kiddo, but maybe you shouldn't have thrown your pillow?
I adore my daughter, and she's generally a joy to be around, but this week, let me tell ya, if I was offered an opportunity to run away and join the circus, you can bet your butt I'd take it.
To quote one of my favorite Simpsons lines; Pray....for....Mojo....

DeDe started this same attitude problem about 3 weeksish ago. I really hope it's a phase, and think it is. It's gotten better that it was initially but it's not back anywhere near normal. She's also been working on stopping whining which is weird & adorable because her voice goes all funny and pitchy when she's purposely trying not to whine.
I just had a flat forehead moment when I realized that her new found attitude problem coincides with trying to wean her from breastfeeding. I absolutely think she's acting out because of it. Fortunately, this can't last forever....she said hopefully!!
