Helper and Hellion

We are in a odd phase. Maybe all parents go through this but since we are first timers we have nothing to gauge it by. Let's just say we are in deep water with this little one. On one hand Lyla has become this amazing helper. So independent, thoughtful and kind but on the other hand she also become an evil hellion. Still super independent but defiant and nasty. This may sound horrible but sometimes I don't know if I want to squeeze her in love or in anger. There are days when she is so nurturing and sweet and then there are days that she looks me right in the eye and tells me no and laughs as she deliberately disobeys (I say days but I really mean minute to minute...she is crazy). Needless to say she is definitely testing us. Some days I thinking I am doing alright and others I feel like I am completely failing. My Mom always reminds me that this to will pass but I am ready or it to pass now...She is trouble....now and many more years to come...
