Can you hear me now?

I am pretty sure for most of the day I talk to myself. Although why would I say-" no, stop, don't pull her hair, get down, you need time out" to myself? I am pretty sure I am not pulling anyone's hair. I know that Hannah is fully aware of what I say. She is good at looking me right in the eye and doing the opposite. Lucas, while he doesn't talk much, understands as well. He laughs like I am doing a funny dance when I say "no, no!" Even with a mean face on he thinks I am pretty darn funny.
My cousin asked me if Lucas was being a bit of a handful like her 18 month old little girl. It reminded me that I was not alone and this is normal. Although, I have a hard time remembering that when it is happening!
So, What do I do?? What can I do? I will try and remember that this stage will pass. I may blink and they will be all grown up. And that the cute, loving things they do outweigh the bad. (even though there are days when it's a close tie...)
And then I have a BIG glass of wine.
