THEY call this age the terrible twos. It is the period of time when children are growing and able to communicate in a rudimentary way with their parents. They can express wants, needs, preferences, and desires even if they do not know their own wants, needs, preferences, and desires. Given that that communication is limited, and that two-year-olds have a two-year-old's grasp of life, there is going to be many instances meltdowns.
Buggy doesn't like going to bed. Mom and Dad have done everything conceivable to make bed time go smoothly. They have a routine that the Twins associate with bedtime. Buggy even likes it. She will even go into her bedroom compliantly, but the moment Dad closes the door (Mom doesn't like to do it), Buggy has a meltdown.
She will call out, "Night night?"
Dad will reply in front of the closed door, "Night night."
Buggy then screams, "Bwaa, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhhh!".
Then she asks again, "Night night?"
Dad then rolls his eyes and walks away. She then screams out again.
