LILY! hello? ear check…
Ugh, Lily has been pretending NOT to hear lately.
I find myself calling her five times before she even turns around and the only reason she finally does is because I either:
1- scream out her name or
2- go over to her, lower myself so she can see me eye to eye
Is anybody else’s toddler doing this?
She is just not listening lately.
I have even thought about taking her to the pediatrician to have her ears checked.
Yesterday, we were having a great time painting in her room until she decided that she wanted to take the painting containers and paint elsewhere.
I told her that both had to stay in the easel.
She refused to listen to me, was being so stubborn (I shouldn’t be surprised since I was the MOST stubborn child in the world as my mom tells me), started screaming and crying.
I finally just sat her in the chair and put her on “time-out”.
She sat there for a while and was finally calm enough to reason with.
Is this what they call the terrible 2’s?
Advice always appreciated.
Here are some painting pictures before the tantrum started.
