Who's the Boss?

Apparently whatever has taken over my sweet baby boy this week is. It's like a switch was flipped and now I am dealing with this guy.

And this guy.
His minor meltdowns over toys taken away or stairs not allowed to be climbed are preparing me for what I have in store with my little toddler. It's exhausting. And I'm not about to give in just because he goes completely limp and screams his head off just because I won't give him the scissors he wants. It's hard work and now more than ever I need to practice my patience.
Don't get me wrong he still has his sweet snugly moments but then this guy shows up.

Can't I just have this happy sweet guy all the time?
