Terrible 2's????

Bryson is definitely 2! He is rotten to the core :) His pediatrician retired so we went shopping for a new one. Luckily we found a great one on our first try. We went to visit with Dr. Mann in Mansfield on Wednesday. Bryson was good while I filled out the paperwork, but after that, he was beyond ready to go. He was DONE. So, he started to act out. Y'all, he was terrible! I have never seen him be this bad! Crying, screaming, telling me "no" to everything. He even told the doctor "no" when he was trying to examine him and pushed away his stethoscope! He was awful. When we were leaving, the nurse at the front desk said "here, let me give you some stickers, bryson". She gave me two stickers to give him. You'd think that would make him happy. Nope. I gave them to Bryson, he yelled "NO" and took them from my hand, ran back up to the nurse's desk, threw them on her desk, and yelled "NO". I just picked them back up and said "Uh, sorry. Thank you. Bye". I bet they were happy to see us leave. So needless to say, the little man got a spanking in the parking lot. I warned him about 10 times inside the doctor's office, but he didn't care, so he received a spanking. I told him that he was bad in the doctor's office. He calmed down and about 10 minutes later in the car, he said "Bryson was bad. Sorry Momma. Bryson was bad". It just melted my heart. :) So I leaned over, rubbed his leg, and we went and got a smoothie.

You see...he may be in the "terrible 2's" stage, but it's really not all that terrible. As rotten as he can be sometimes, he's 10 times more fun and adorable and sweet. I love this age. The things that he has started to say crack me up. So those of you who have little ones that aren't 2 yet, don't worry. It's actually pretty fun...even though he has started to tell me "No Momma, go away" when I hug and kiss on him sometimes! I wouldn't trade this time with Bryson for anything!

Here is Bryson helping me clean. I was vacuuming and when I turned around, I saw him behind me. He had gone upstairs and brought down his own little vacuum and was following me around the house helping. So cute!

He LOVES to watch home videos of himself now. He is always asking to "watch Bryson". Here he is watching himself...I walked into the den and saw that he pulled his little chair all the way up to the TV so he could get a better view. Little stinker!
