"I don't want to!"

I am really tired of hearing those words! My niece is turning two very soon and we are getting a really good preview of what the terrible two's are going to be like! I don't like it at all! She is definitely very different from the way my son and my nephew were when they were her age! Her mother has actually asked if we can ship her away for a year! (kidding!) We have dealt with nothing other than "I don't want to" especially when it comes to going to sleep. She is actually so stubborn that she will stay awake for hours when she is supposed to be sleeping! Last night she woke up at 1:30am and didn't go back to sleep until 5:30-6am! Man was she a crank today! We are also dealing with shrieking for no reason, her throwing her food all over the floor when she wants attention or if she isn't in the mood to eat... you name it and she is doing it. She is a little girl that tries to run her own world and it is hard to get her to realize that it won't always go her way! She is cute and I love her to pieces but I miss the quiet little baby that she used to be! She is truly a high maintenance diva!!!
