2.5 Year Olds can certainly be difficult
These days, D can be really hard. He's 2.5 (almost exactly) and definitely has a mind of his own. Sometimes he wants to do it all by himself and others he wants everything done for him. Most of the time his quirks don't bother me, but today my patience is thin and his energy and playing and roughhousing is driving me nuts. I love him. I love him more than life itself. I would never ever go back to life without him, but sometimes I know exactly why I worked full time for so long! Although I wouldn't trade this time with him for anything in the world, today I'm feeling the effects of needing a break. So tomorrow I will be doing just that. Taking a break. Some me time. I might even go get a pedicure...and if I wasn't pregnant I would definitely be following that up with a cocktail or two, but I might have to just settle for a smoothie!

You just described Aaron to a T! I still work full time, and know that is all that saves my sanity, but I sure do look forward to the weekends and holidays with my little man!
ditto Adry.
grass is always greener for sure.
We are all in the same situation Mama! We all have 2.5 year olds now and it is certainly not a walk in the park! I work full time and every single morning Aubree fights me about going to school. She is fine once we are in the car, but getting her out of bed and dressed is a whole other story. It's like a knife right through my heart. I'm sooo glad you got to go get a pedicure and have a break! You need it, especially since you are preggo : )
There must be something in the air because it seems like all toddlers are very testing right now. Don't drink the water! LOL
The new pictures of D reminded me to go back and comment on this post - I had my second when my first was exactly 2.5 years old, and he was so horrible to me for 6 months or so. Everyone kept saying it was because of the new baby, but it definitely wasn't - I think it was just a trying time for him. We're at 3.5 and he's wonderful again, but for 6 months or so it was pretty rocky. Hang in there!
