Attitudes with 2 Year Olds...Terrible Twos!

Some mornings I wake up with my two year old and he is absolutely awesome, yet some mornings...he is in a mood and I just don't understand.  He is two, and for anyone who has two year olds out there, you know the little one sometimes can't tell you what is wrong.  It is typical frustration that makes your little on upset. 

This morning for example, he woke and started crying because one of his toys would not do what he wanted it to do, and then he hugged on his Daddy for at least 30 minutes.  He was crying and simply frustrated, yet he could not tell his Daddy what he wanted his toy to do.

My heart broke for him, but as a Mommy I understood what he was going through.  It made me think for a moment about how as parents, sometimes we have to let the babies we love so much sort things out for themselves.  We can't solve everyting, especially things we are not certain of in terms of our little one's frustrations. 

Sometimes we need to let our babies cry it out, sort it out, and just continue on the best they can.  It does take a lot of self control to do so, but it is necessary.  I wonder in what month my little one is going to be able to roll out a sentence as to what is truly wrong with his toy, so that I may explain in the most simplistic terms that it is ok.  This is how we will fix it.

Anyone out there in the community relate to this with two year olds? 

Comments welcome.
