Night of the Banshee

So, we've been fairly sanguine about the prospects of the terrible twos/terrific twos/challenging twos, call them what you will. As maniacal as Fuss has been since he entered the world it was hard to credit loose talk of escalation.

Didn't he already pitch himself to the ground howling and bashing his head at the mere utterance of the word 'no'? Wasn't every single action throughout the day already a pitched battle, from the first diaper change of the morning to getting in the bath at night?

Well, then along comes a night like last night, which had me seriously considering the construction of a bed-surrounding BABYCAGE(tm)with some kind of retractable Cone of Silence ala Get Smart.

We seem to get one of these every month or so, here's hoping it wasn't the start of a new trend.

That's when a little watered down scotch in his sippy cup doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
