Terrible Two

I realize I haven't blogged in a while. A lot has happened over the past 2 weeks, but as I sit to write about it, it doesn't seem like that much.

E is becoming the definitive Terrible Two. I'm trying my best not to use spanking as a threat, but time-out isn't working and neither is taking away benefits. The other day it took her an hour to actually sit in the time-out chair. She only has to sit for 2 minutes, but she kept getting up. Last night we only fought for about 20 minutes before she finally sat down for 2, so she's getting better. Gah! Beyond the fact that she's terrible, she has been doing some pretty cool things lately. She now can write the first 3 letters of her name. The E sometimes has additional horizontal lines in it, but she knows that the ones on top and bottom are longer than the middle.

This weekend I bought a new stove, a new microwave, and a manual lawn mower at Lowe's. It was fun. I also went to my brother and sister-in-law's house to meet my new nephew. He's adorable!! I'll be heading back out in 2 weeks to spend the day with them and I'm looking forward to it.

That's all for now.
