Hannah has hit the "Terrible Twos"

Hannah has been a pill the last couple of weeks!!!

I think we have had it very easy overall as parents. Almost since the time Hannah was born she would go right to bed and sleep for most of the night if not all of it. She did the same thing for naps. Well, the nap thing started to go a little while ago, but it still wasn't too bad. For the last few weeks (2-3 would be my guess) she has completely fought going to bed. She used to be great about saying prayers with us and reading the scriptures and going right to bed. Now she throws a huge fit every time we try to put her to bed. In fact, there were a few nights when she would seem like she was going to go to bed fine, and we would put her down, and she would get back up and throw herself at the edge of the crib and scream at the top of her lungs. Rachel called it her "abandoned on the side of the road" look. It has been a challenge.

Well, today Rachel and Hannah spent almost the entire day out of the house (visiting teaching, grocery shopping, etc. - a great perk of her having a car) which seemed to exhaust Hannah. I say that because tonight she went straight to bed like she used to. Or almost anyway. She did fight reading scriptures and saying prayers, but didn't fight going to bed at all. It made for a very pleasant evening. I hope that we can start having a few more like them again soon.
