malloy: i don't want juice.
me: that's fine i'll put it away
malloy: (screaming and crying) NO!! i want juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiice!
the above scenario is a recurring theme at the moment and it drives me CRAZY!!! malloy is asserting her independence and trying to let me know she's boss by telling me she doesn't want something. when i say that's fine instead of trying to persuade her, she melts down. how do i make this stop?! it happens about 30 times a day - no matter if she's had a good night's sleep or not. i love malloy to pieces, but i'm afraid i'm not going to have any teeth left in a few weeks because i grit them so hard to keep from losing my cool!!! ahh, the joys of 2 year olds!!
