Spencer took a pen to his souvenir shirt from Paris today. "Mommy, I'm writing all over my shirt," I hear him announce from the other room. And so he had. I was more than a little upset as you can imagine. Spencer lately seems intent on testing the boundaries, prone to fits of defiance. I attribute this new attitude to his age, his growing awareness of my pregnancy and a reaction to missing his Daddy this week. As much as I try to remain calm, I don't always succeed even though I realize when I react strongly it only feeds the fire. Two-year-olds can be alternately infuriating and adorable creatures from one minute to the next. No one ever said parenting would be easy. I'm beginning to understand what they meant.
