So almost two weeks ago, the prince was 22 months old.
He's growing super fast - I just bought him a whole new wardrobe, and he can reach more and more things, including (1) anything within a couple inches of the edge of the kitchen counter and (2) the deadbolt on the back door. Fortunately, he doesn't yet know how to work the lock on the back door handle itself; but outside is one of his favorite places to be, so I feel like we're going to need to get some gate action on either side of the house soon so a kid in the back yard can't get around to the front yard without an adult knowing about it.
He's 99.9% totally sweet, but he has entered a phase where he hits me when he's displeased with something. This is age-appropriate swatting, and most of the time I can remind him (insistently) that We Do Not Hit In This Family and then hold him tight and restrain his little arms if he keeps doing it. Only the other night he became furious ( when I went to change his diaper at bedtime. )
