Meltdown


I feeling pretty darn smitten with Audrey of late…even though she is firmly ensconced in what is better known as the terrible twos. I’ve never wanted to buy into that, thinking that if I admitted they exist I would somehow be creating a self fulfilling prophesy. But make no mistake, we've arrived.

Ironically she’s more charming, loving and funny than she’s ever been…punctuated with irrational little eruptions of the kind of red-faced, alligator tear crying that can only come from getting one waffle instead of two or not rewinding the Wiggles to the exact scene that she wants to view at that exact moment. ARGH!!! I’ve started having to give myself timeouts so I don’t go completely postal when she’s freaking out.

Of course I’m usually sitting in my “timeout” thinking about how charming, loving and funny she is…such is life.
