Terrible Twos

Rocky is running us ragged! He is SO much trouble! But lately I've just thought he is the cutest little thing too so he's lucky for that.

Putting headphone jacks in outlets and blowing out the power to two rooms
Applesauce pouches squeezed all over walls and floors
Consuming toothpaste
Pulling out literally every board game and it's pieces everywhere, then spilling bath colors on top of that
Spilled pretzles in the kitchen
Animal crackers in the carpet
Taking off his pants again
Pulling on the blinds
Hitting Troy, pushing/pulling Troy, biting Troy
Sitting on the baby, or resting his feet on his face, getting all up into Tyler
Sneaking out of bed
Hitting my computer keyboard while I'm on it then running away
Stealing the stool to sneak snacks in the pantry then falling off and pulling down food as he goes
Running into walls
Falling off things he climbs up onto
Always putting things in my water cup on the counter (acorns, pens, change, etc.)
Drawing on the walls, drawing on the kitchen floor, drawing on the carpet, drawing on the doors
Sneaking out the front door, or sneaking around the house and riding his scooter out front when I think he's out back
....................................

I could go on.... This is seriously a typical day for him. I had NO idea Troy was such a good two year old.

BUT

He just sang his heart out today during the sacrament hymns
He loooooves loveees Tyler and shows it to him
He will cuddle at any day at any time. He rests his head on my shoulder and touches my face.
He talks so well and re-mimics scenarios so well for a 2 year old.
He can keep up with Troy
He loves to help

I fasted today to just give me patience with him. Help me be kind and not lose it!

He just loves to be free and wild.






He got this weird abscess on his gum. Probably 4 different dentists thought he needed to get the tooth pulled, but it turned out to be ok (so far). 





He decided he didn't want the responsibility of potty training and he's back to diapers.




Love you, Rocky Brigham.
