Austin is a total stinker. He screams all the time and yells "Ow!" for anything that he doesn't like. It doesn't help that he still isn't talking alot. I understand that he is frustrated, but I am so the same when he is waving his arms around like a mad man. Had our first real bad tantrum this weekend at a toy store. We were leaving and he just freaked. He was throwing himself around in the van, stiffening up so we couldn't buckle him in...such a toot!

I feel your pain though, its a phase right?? Right???

totally a phase.  i just know that for R anyway, 3 was harder than 2, so let's hope that's not the same for C!!!

C had one of those car tantrums today at R's preschool pickup. she has a FIT everytime R comes out with a project/craft...she wants it, she wants to rip it, hold it, etc, and that's totally not fair to R, who comes out all excited to show me.

then C refuses to hold hands in the parking lot (which is CRAZY busy), and then today she was too stiffened up and arched to get in the seat - it was HORRIBLE and embarrassing. i gave her a timeout when we got home (i know not ideal, but she knew what it was for) -- UG!!! i totally hear you on the toy store tantrum - the worst!!
