    Not that I wasn't close anyways. But he's trying to push me over the edge! He is 2.5 yrs old so yes I get it those damn terrible twos but this is just ugh. He will not stop! Will not listen! By the time my DF gets home I run and hide in the bedroom or bathroom for 20 minutes with my phone for some peace and quiet! He's usually a very well behaved good listener but this week has been horrible. He is definitely testing me today!!

    I always said 2 was a cakewalk compared to the 3's. I called it the terrible 2's & the gruesome 3's. Lol. Actually it got bad a few months before 3. 4 makes up for out though. ;-) 9 is a rough age in our house too. When ds12 was 9 I told him many times he wasn't gonna make it to 10. He did & now i'm on my 2nd 9yo.

    Usually he isn't so bad but the weather here has been rainy and crappy out for days so he hasn't gotten outside much and he's got horrible allergies and doesn't feel well so I'm hoping this all adds up to why he's acting this way.
    I just set him up with those aqua bubble things and he played quietly by himself for almost thirty minutes! I didnt know what to do with myself lol

    Sounds like Cabin Fever we had a week of rain and all I wanted by the end of it was a roll of duct tape and a bottle of xanax!!! LOL!

    I think that's exactly what the problem was @stinkersmommy! Lol I was only one day away from buying the duct tape, thank goodness he got to visit his pop pop and get out for a whole and has been great today.. So far! Lol :)
