You will not defeat us...

As the terrible 2's set in times 3, I felt it appropriate to tell you how we get through each day... By repeating over and over and over again that they will not defeat us...

You will not defeat us when you refuse to take off your PJ's and insist upon wearing your rain boots all. morning. long. (Aven)...

You will not defeat us when you scream and holler when putting clothes on for the day, to then begin to strip them off (Bria)...

You will not defeat us when you refuse to cooperate for pictures (L to R: Stevie, Aven & Bria)...

You will not defeat us when the rare moment that you actually cooperate is when only 2 of 3 are in the picture (Aven & Bria)...

You will not defeat us when you look happy and cute (Stevie) and then 5.2 seconds later take the toy that your sister has been playing with for 10 minutes which instigated a 20 minute temper tantrum...

You will defeat us when you are cooperating, quite and silently reading which erases all the temper tantrums, hitting, screaming, pushing and naughtiness throughout the day...
