A quick question about the 'terrible two's'
Hi - I am more than aware that children go through horrible stages and the TT's is one of them, but I just wanted some confirmation that what my son is doing is 'normal'.

Instructions say attach pump to pointy thing, which now looks like a needle, and insert to inflate, then remove both. I've done that but…
