We are deep into the terrible twos, temper tantrums, sibling rivalry, the full catastrophe. The diabetes is easy to manage compared to this. I believe some of today's melt downs are due to the fact that after being held back for a month, Tas is finally transitioning into Chance's daycare class. Chance moved first into the two year old class so the teachers could get used to his diabetes routine. This was definitely not in Tas' best interest and causing some resentful behavior, which seems beyond Tas' control. Tas was inconsolable tonight as I tried to divert my attention from him to Chance so I could get them both washed and ready for bed.
I guess with parenting it is always going to be something so as Heath says, I better "toughen up". This does not come easily to me as I am a sensitive soul and a recovering Catholic always plagued by guilt.
If any of my fellow parents have advice or tips for surviving the terrible twos with two boys, I am all ears. I have already been advised to drink, which I try to do every day. :)

First order of business, make sure EVERYONE in the house is getting enough sleep. It can take a while but it's well worth it.
