My Lainey girl

What do you do with a 2 year old?!? Lainey is officially 2 and a half and quite the handful. She already has an emotional rollercoaster, which just scares me for what life is going to be like when she is a teenager!
Two days ago, I made a quick trip to the grocery store for a few items. When I came home I just set the bags on the floor so I could get dinner started. After I started cooking the meat (which is the first time I've been able to do THAT since I got pregnant! yay) I turned around the put the food away and Lainey had done it all! That's right! Three bags of groceries put away in the proper places! (as long as the bread is supposed to go in the fridge, but that was the only thing outta place) I was so suprised! That is more helpful then her brother is most days! I figured that we were having a "good" day. It was not to be. Less then a half hour later, she was screaming at the top of her lungs (and MAN, does she have a set of lungs!) throwing toys at her brother because he was trying to do his homework and that wasn't in her "plan". Sigh, so seriously.... what do you do with a 2 year old?!? I don't remember Kyrin being like this. Is this one of those things like labor that you forget so you can go through it again? When will it end? I know that she can be sweet and her loves are the best. She cries when I am sick and does everything in her power to make it better (including wrapping me in her blanket as I lay on the bathroom floor) but these witch moments are scary! Sometimes I wish I could permantly lock "her broom" in the closet so I could have that sweet loveable caring little girl all the time!

But then, she wouldn't be MY little girl if she wasn't a little emotional! (o.k.... A LOT emotional!)
