Claire Elizabeth - Terrible Twos?



How could this sweet face push me over the edge? From an email to Julie earlier this week....
YOUR neice is driving me CRAAAAAZZZZZZZYYYYY. She suddently developed an incredible fear of pooping on the toilet and the craziest ability to hold it. It's been about a week that everytime she has to poop, the Big Event is preceded by over an hour (today it was two!) of tears, tantrums, her changing underwear forty times (for some reason she thinks this is related), and me dragging Catherine in and out of everyroom following her around making false promises and every reward in the book. Just had to vent it off my chest!!!!!

While I know this is indeed just a phase that we will outgrow, like every other difficulty we've encountered, Julie did remind me to record this story for posterity. Some day I will look back at this and laugh!
