Yes, my friends, we are deep into the terrible , er, um, terrific twos! Little sister literally whines, demands, gets angry, and then cries all day long. Whatever her sister or I have, she wants it. The item could be a glass of water, toy, pen, cell phone, etc. It goes something like this....
LS: (Seeing Mommy using a pen), "Pen?"
ME: I will get you a pencil in a minute.
LS: "No, pen."
ME: "Wait just a minute, and I will get you a pencil."
LS: "No, pen, pen, pen, pen, pen....."
ME: "Stop whining and demanding now. If you stop, I will get you a pencil. No pens."
LS: (Getting visably angry) "Pen, pen, pen, pen, pen....."
ME: You are going to have a time-out until you stop whining and demanding things.
It goes on all day long, and for the record, I don't always deny her something, especially food or drink, but she is completely impatient and wants to be catered to 24/7. I know it's the age, but it can be exhausting. On the bright side, her sense of humor keeps me laughing, and for that I am very thankful.

My Hunan girl is a True Princess as well...I am afraid we often give into her demands a little too much...
