So we are not quite there yet (about 6 weeks until Chanler actually turns 2), but I am beginning to see why people call the two's terrible. Life is challenging with an infant because they can't do or understand things. With a 2 on the other hand then understand and decide NOT to do what you asked. The will is in "strong willed" is comming out.

This is not to say that Chanler isn't still wonderfull and cute much of the time, but he is being more and more challenging. I pray continually that we have the perserverance, wisdom, and energy to do the right things (disipline, attention, flexibility, etc.) each time!
