I'm not sure what triggered it, but my sweet Abraham seems to have magically woken up from his haze of terrible two-dom. I'm sure it has a lot to do with his sudden ability to express his feelings. An actual example: I feel angry because brother said I wasn't the winner. It's much easier to deal with that than a screaming 32 lb toddler flailing on the ground. And as far as toddling goes, he no longer does it. He walks and runs up right like a proper big boy. No more chicken wings to keep his balance or waddling I-just-got-off-a-horse stance. He's expressing more original ideas, asking questions, and saying please and thank you. He's voluntarily used the toilet a couple of times and is more willing to try doing things himself. He also woke up one morning more obedient than I've ever known him to be. He still definitely has his moments of defiance and I don't think we're out of the woods quite yet, but he is a new boy and we are loving it.
