Did We Start the Terrible Twos a Little Early?!?

The last couple of weeks have been different and a little rough. Ryland's attitude and reaction towards certain things is definitely changing. And he has started hitting and throwing things when he does not get his way! Which means he has been spending some quality time in time-out. Surprisingly time-out seems to work in the moment ... he stays there for the minute and a half and after his time is up we talk to him about why he had to sit in time-out and he gives us a hug and then is back to his happy self. I just hope this is a short phase ... please let it be a short phase!
