Any funny stories to share? We might as well laugh instead of tearing our hair out!

The past month or two, my daughter has started making this sound whenever she doesn’t get her way. It’s like a threat. But it actually makes me laugh out loud, it is so ridiculous.
These days, her automatic response to things is, “No.” The other day, Ammi asked her if she wanted to go outside, and Madam answered, “No.” Eventho it was BEAUTIFUL outside and she LOVES to go outside, especially with her grandparents. It just wasn’t her own idea, so she had to say no! Ammi asked her multiple times, but got a determined “No!” in response. Then five minutes later, she demanded to go outside.
Oh! And she is LITERALLY testing her boundaries. I have told her that toys and food items do not come into the bathroom with her. So she goes and puts them on the floor right in front of the bathrooom door and says, “Mama, no Lego bathroom” and “Mama, no fork bathroom.”
Normally she is a good girl, understands a lot now, when we say no, she accepts it but sometimes she will have those moments.
She can walk up and down the stairs, but as she sees that I am carring the baby and about to go up, she demands the same. So its either a lots of crying and you know jumping up and down on your feet, till I put the baby away and pick her up to take her upstairs, right then and there she is the sweetest thing you have ever seen. She will lean her head on my shoulders, or make a mahsoom face and you wonder where that little monster from a few minutes has gone to.
We have some more, but my memory is not the best at the moment.
I think ages 2-4 is the best stage ever. The “terrible twos” are not so terrible … and it does not finish when they turn 3.
What we all must remember is that their brain is like a sponge. They will absorb whatever we say and do … and they will repeat it.
The other day, my son comes up to me and says he has a video in his hands (it was imaginary). I kissed his hand and he got very upset. He said I broke his video. He told me I am a bad, bad little girl and he is very sad (exactly what I say to him when he does something naughty) … and then he goes to me that he is not going to talk to me because he is sad and he wants me to realize what I did. When I am ready, I can go and say sorry to him and we will talk about what happened.
:hoonh:
So after I said sorry, he told me he does not want me to do it again and he wants me to listen like a good girl.
At least I know he is listening and paying attention when I talk.
Mine is 20 months old and "no' is the favorite word these days.
"you know khala is coming today'...'No..no no...'
"Lets change,it is bed time'....'noooo...!!'...(runs to her abu to hide from me...:()
"Your friend is coming.You will share your toys with her'..."No..!!"
"Let's eat an egg "...."No'...
and it goes on....!
It is not bad,not as of now.But in the last few weeks I have started to notice that she wants everything her way and wants it right there and then.If I am busy with something and I say ok I'll get it for you,she just starts crying or screaming.And when she gets what she wants,she is the happiest child ever.
But I agree they are like sponges or something.She amazes me and makes me laugh with the things she does.There are so many things she copies...or tries to do whatever she sees me doing.One of her favorites is to take the kitchen towel and wipe all the floors around the house.And another one is where she puts her stuffed Minnie Mouse on the floor and covers her with a blanket and pats her to sleep,like I do to her and all this while she keeps on saying 'ssshhhh baby....' that is be quiet the baby is sleeping.
Oh gosh mine just started her terrible twos, 3 months before her 3rd birthday. And there is nothing funny about them. She has started screaming and hitting when she doesnt get her way. For the past 5 days or so, she is being a brat at bed time and otherwise because we wont let her hold our ears or face at bed time. Everytime she does it, we say no. So now she keeps saying she wants to do it outside of the bed too. Its like she keeps doing it to see when we break down and say yes. Its exhausting.
But then other stuff makes it all worthwhile though. Her big brown eyes MA and dora style hair cut lol. Since i am pregnant, i cant do certain things with her anymore. So alot of times i have to say i cant do this because my back hurts. So one day she asked me how it can get better and i told her when your baby comes (she thinks the new baby is hers), it will get better. Yesterday she repeated that infront of her grandparents and my husband. My husband didnt get it but the grandparents did but kept quiet about it. They were kinda embarassed about it. I thought it was funny.
Also, the other day she didnt want to eat but wanted to drink milk at nap time. After 1 and a half sippy cups of milk, my husband said, now she should have water if she is thirsty and food if she is hungry, no more milk. After he left, she said my tummy hurts. I said its because you are hungry. Her response was "no isliye dard horahi hai, tummy kehta hai mujhay doodho chahiye". I was amazed at how she can start manipulating words around her needs already!
So Im not a mommy but I have some to share from Sumaiya terrible two's:
Mixing...she wanted to mix everything in her sight. She once mixed ALL of my mom's masalay and we don't even know how she got into the kitchen that day since we had a child gate up too. I think there was a haldi and kaali mirch cocktail she concocted that actually stayed on the shelves for a longgggggg time.
She wasn't a picky eater but she ate the way she wanted to eat. No one was allowed to feed her...you put the food on the tray of her high chair and then she told you "jaoo"...meaning go and let me eat in peace.
Sleeping was SUCH a battle...no cribs...she wanted to be rocked to sleep every single night and slept with my sister and BIL.
