at arm's length

Haven't been around much, and this is why. You are looking at the cause. When I ask people when the Terrible Twos are over, they tell me the Threes are worse. We are still about 2 months away from the Threes, and she is building up a crescendo of sorts. For the past two weeks, she just can't bear to be separated from me. She has to be physically attached to me, even in sleep. I try putting her to bed. She falls asleep, but as soon as she senses me leave the bed, she is up, begging to go with me. For the past two weeks we went to bed at the same time, and got up at the same time, leaving her sleep deprived and me grumpy from not having any time to Flickr in the evening. Not a great combination.

She does not nap on the weekends any more either, which makes her even more tired, ever more clingy, and needing to be closer to me.

So here you have it... puffy, tear streaked eyes, the ever present binky (I think that is half our problem), and I near by.

I PRAY the Threes are easier.
