You are closing in on age 3 as you are not 2.75. I have a feeling that 3 is going to be more difficult than 2 has been with you. You are very strong minded and you stay firm in your thoughts. You get offended easily and you've started spitting (raspberries) at people whenever you feel upset in the slightest. When you get upset you get really really upset, you yell, kick, scream, hit, punch, kick, throw things, and you're relentless. I'm sure it's because of your age and brain development, your prefrontal cortex is not yet developed enough for impulse control or emotional regulation.
Recently you're been jumping on me often and hitting me. I think it's because we've been cutting down nursing sessions. I have been starting to feel completely exhausted and touched out because you were wanting to nurse literally every 5-10 mins all day and all night long. It just wasn't working out for my mental or emotional health. It's stressful nursing a toddler lol.You've started going to sleep at night with your sister in her bed and then after a few hours you crawl into my bed but we don't nurse at night anymore, you know that nursing resumes when the sun comes up and no longer when it's dark out. Sometimes you protest and other times you're ok with just cuddling.
You're still an incredible little human and I am so happy to have you in my life. Lately, you've been asking daddy and I for a baby sister. You say you will share your milkies. <3 So sweet.
You had your face painted for the first time the other day and you loved it. You chose the unicorn face painting. You kept staring at yourself in the mirror lol you loved it so much! Oh and you also want to be tinkerbell for halloween. :) Whatever makes you happy. :)
