Persnickety

That's how I would describe Sean these days. No matter what you want him to do, that's not what he wants to do. Everything has to be exactly his way all the time or he's going to protest. He has a quiet protest where he just bends over and puts his head down on the ground, and he has a loud protest where he whines and whines. Just about the only thing he doesn't protest is Bob the Builder, but he does protest the opening and closing credits.

Another mother at the playground was describing her son's "terrible two's" to me and I came to a scary realization. She was describing Sean, except Sean doesn't use as many words to protest things. Sean's pediatrician also told me that many kids go through this stage earlier than two. I just hope that means Sean will come out of it sooner, too. I know, I know, fat chance!
