I think two...Firstly, beautiful photos of your boy.<br />I think two is a funny age for them. They suddenly realise they're not a baby anymore and I, personally, think they're not sure quite what the next step is. I blame a lot of things on growth spurts and hormone surges, at the moment I'm experiencing this with both boys. Let me tell you, three is a very interesting age when it comes to independence. Charles is also very emotional whereas Harry is quite tough and just gets grumpy.<br />I really quite like the emotional, sensitive side to Charles and hope it continues (although also calms fown somewhat)<br />I'm glad you mentioned being worried about being a mama to a teen. This has been playing on my mind a bit recently, trying to control two teenage boys who will no doubt be towering over me!<br /><br />Great idea for a linky. I will be joining in every week xxLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715474029266855903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-40127985563639472932013-04-26T04:31:51.191+01:002013-04-26T04:31:51.191+01:00beautiful.

I just try to support the best I can and unfortunately I can't say yes to everything. They grow and learn so fast and it's hard to keep up sometimes!

I'm really sorry if you find mine a "perfect world blog", I kind of think this post demonstrates that I show the rough and the smooth, and that it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. But I do try to look at the positives and remind myself of the good things, both on my blog and in life, so I guess that comes across in how I write. xlucy at dear beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389965251370657029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-57311444050947385422013-04-22T09:56:02.909+01:002013-04-22T09:56:02.909+01:00I think exactly the same thing; he's just test...I think exactly the same thing; he's just testing his boundaries. And that's natural, but those days when they test them from the moment they get up until the moment they go to bed can be pretty tough. xlucy at dear beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389965251370657029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-72209817449528116762013-04-22T09:54:37.599+01:002013-04-22T09:54:37.599+01:00Yes, we definitely are not alone.

He wouldn't be normal if he didn't decide to be a bit more difficult as a toddler though. xlucy at dear beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389965251370657029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-21793583042201009692013-04-22T09:40:28.716+01:002013-04-22T09:40:28.716+01:00When I read your posts Lucy I'm reminded of Al...When I read your posts Lucy I'm reminded of Alice Harold's recent story on 'perfect world' blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-23509103068728156472013-04-22T09:38:21.930+01:002013-04-22T09:38:21.930+01:00It is so difficult, and more so because you only h...It is so difficult, and more so because you only have your instincts to rely on when trying to understand how to best support and parent. In my head I know it is about testing boundaries but it's keeping your head at times.
