The Good, The Bad, and The Stinky

Right now, I think the hardest part of raising four year old triplets is also having a two and a half year old. I wrote a post back when the triplets were two "Terrible Two's Not so Terrible" and I don't have horrible memories of two, but it just goes to show every child is different and Cody, while I love him more than the air I breath, is a difficult two year old.  He is old enough to understand what is expected, but he is just sooo strong willed.

I feel so sorry for him because he is either having a meltdown because he is in trouble or because the triplets don't want to play with him cause he's too young...  I can't tell you how it warms my heart when I see them all playing together.  However, one day they were playing with Cody and running away from him because he had "junk in his trunk."  They ran away yelling, "Oh NO, here comes Stinky Cody" and Cody thought it was a great game.  Unfortunately, the name and the game stuck... so when Cody chases them they all run screaming and laughing that Stinky Cody is after them.  We are trying to keep the game since they all love it, but trying to drop the name.  Cody is now a Monster that chases them.... "Oh NO, the monster is after us...."

Cody's favorite phrases:
No, I can't
No, I do it
No, I don't want to

If you ask him if he is a bad boy though he says, "No, I not a bad boy.  I's a good boy."  SOOOO CUTE!!!  I just hope I can survive this ADORABLE terrible two year old....

God makes them sooooo stinkin' cute so we don't kill 'em....
