Innocent looking eh?
Don't be fooled.
This cute little fairy gave her mother a bloody nose yesterday.
And she thinks its pretty funny.
In all fairness it was play gone awry, but there's also some other action going on around here.
I know its developmental. I know a score of other Mom's with kids the same age pulling this.
And Momma gets the worst of it.
I thank the friends who share their struggles and the books that clock this developmental milestone as 100% normal or I'd be a hot mess.
Hitting, pinching, biting.
me.
Only me.
Not all the time, we have lovely moments of play and laughter. But it is hard just the same when your sweet toddler is wailing on you.
I know rationally that Mom is safe to explore feelings that are confusing,
such as frustration or anger.
When she does it its like a force she can't control.
But it still hurts.
But on a lighter note, here is Piper loving her "log" Grandma Sally made her. Just in time for Grandma's Birthday Piper played out the scene just as she imagined and planned it...
Well done Mom! Thank You and Happy Birthday!
