So apparently most kids go through the terrible two’s stage, everybody heard of it, and usually the child grows out of that stage by 3 or 4 (even though they are called terrible twos, I think they last longer then that). Well Tyler was amazing at that age, in fact it has been by far my favorite age (I know he’s only 4 but oh well) I really wish he could stay about 2 ½ forever! He was an angel. But on his 4th birthday (literally that day) he became extremely difficult to deal with. He has major tantrums, screams and yells hits things etc. If you know Ty, you know that this does not sound like him at all. Remember I wrote about how sucky Christmas was??? Well I thought it was just because he was overwhelmed, but I was wrong, his behavior has continued to be crazy! It’s exactly what I read about with kids in there terrible twos, but worse because he is older, smarter and stronger then a two year old. I started to get really worried that something was wrong, something with him, or me. My mom has witnessed several melt downs and she asked me what was up with him, I told her and she said that I need to ask the doctor to make sure that nothing was physically wrong with him (which is what the internet said) and that it probably isn’t that but just to make sure. Then she said that it might be because of the wedding planning, and that I may not be paying as much attention to Ty as I usually do. This really made me sad, I am really aware how important it is to pay attention to your kid and not just send them to watch TV by themselves or play in there room all the time. So I kind of took that pretty hard. So today we went to the doctor for routine shots (I hate those) and one of the first things that the doctor said was that sometimes around 4 or 5 some kids can kind of regress and be like 2 year olds. I explained everything to her and she said that it was completely normal!! I guess I can be happy about that. My aunt also said that both of my cousins were hard at 4 too, so maybe it’s a genetic thing that determines if you have terrible two or ferocious fours…
on a side note about the wedding...we have gotten several RSVP cards with people on them who we didnt invite, like someone saying "me and my wife are coming but we're also bringing my 40 year old son and his wife even though they werent invited." WTF?!?!?! we are going to probably have way more people then planned.

Did the doctor say when it would end? On his fifth birthday? That stinks, but at least now he's old enough that he goes to school every day.
I guess you just have to hope that a lot of people that you did invite won't be able to come. I think that's so rude though. I mean, I wasn't even invited to Justin and Brittany's reception, and I didn't go.
Wow, that is very rude! Ususally when people are invited to bring guests, there is a place on the RSVP card that says "Additional Guests" or something... so you can at least have a name for the name card. I think some people just have no idea what planning a wedding is like. I would be really irritated. I don't know how many people you are inviting, but mine was INSANE enough, there were a couple people I forgot to send invites to! The Moores for example.... they had to ask Gena to ask me if they were supposed to get an invitation (and I totally thought I sent them one, had them checked off the list)! AH! Weddings are stressful... but on that day I think the planning all becomes worth it.
haha, funny, i just realized that on my rsvp i responded that "2 1/2" were coming, but it was just a joke that i have a half baked baby in my tummy ;)
Rachel- it's not a switch that just turns off at a certain age...but we shall see.
Emily - i thought the 2 1/2 was cute! we invited well over 250 but i dont know the final count...ugh.
