My son is in the terrible two's. He wants to be carried all the time, pitches fits, and on top of it...refuses to sleep in his own bed. I read your story likes it my life.

Crises would have to be cleaning up vomit, and getting rid of spiders (dead or alive, but especially alive). I'd also love to pass on the rare stuff like dead animals, ER injuries, etc. But since they're so rare, I have an (for lack of a better word) easier time dealing with those than with the daily stuff I'd rather not do. Part of me loves that I'm the go to guy and part of me despises it. For instance, I love that they yell "mommy" when they need hugs or help and I hate that they cry "mommy" when they're in the hospital and there's nothing I can do to make them feel better.

If Eric gets up with Gwen in the middle of the night he falls asleep in lecture. Since we're paying oodles of dough for Med school, he has big tests every 3 weeks, and the boards are only months away... we decided it wasn't the best idea for him to take middle of the night concerns except on weekends (which I LOVE!!!). So Gwen had her 2 month shots Tuesday... and Wednesday day and night was a struggle for her, poor thing. I would pass the buck on gettin up every 2 hours if I could. I love sleep so much... LOL!!!!
