My daughter will be 2 on saturday.  We just got back from a 2 week vacation in North Carolina.  While we were there we were doing something almost every day and had day long activites and my dad was there so she got to spend a lot of time with granpda.  Now that were home, montana, and the weather isn't so great we haven't had as much outdoor activites to do.  I've bought her numerous coloring books, i color with her, i build blocks with her, she loves to "do the dishes" so i let her do that when it's time for me to clean the kitchen.  But she's so unbearbly crabby i just don't know what to do with her.  If she does something she knows she's not supposed to do, like get into the dvd's or scream at the top of her lungs, or i tell her to give me one second to get her some juice or her lunch or anything really, or i tell her no she throws herself on the floor and has a full on tantrum.  She didn't used to do this.  She used to be a pretty calm child, and only had trantrums when she was sick.  She doesn't have a fever, she has a little bit of a runny nose but thats her allergies.  I just don't know what to do, i find myself losing patients with her very quickly.  She's the worst in the mornings about a hour after she wakes up and about 2 hours before bedtime.  She only takes one nap a day and thats usually 2 hours.  I just don't know what to do.  Is this just terrible twos or am i missing something.

It could be you daughter is just still tired from the trip. Do you know that saying people need a vacation from their vacation. You changed her schedule for a couple of weeks and now are trying to get back to the old one. My son just doesn't do change well at all. He is a year and a half. He has just started doing that as well. He has started ignoring me and then when I try to stop him from doing somthing he screams at me and throws himself down. He is only a one napper too. I have started trying to give him an extra nap when he does that. I try laying him down. If he is going to scream and yell for no reason then he can do it in his crib and if we are out I just ignore it. Sometimes I just ignore it at home to or distract him with something else.
