Terrible, Tantrum TWOs!

"They" don't call it the "Terrible Twos" for nothing, that's for sure! It's like a light switch went off and suddenly, we have daily meltdowns over silly, inconsequential things. Katy had a tantrum because she's over-tired. She has a tantrum because we are out of milk, or out of grapes. She has a tantrum because she has to sit in her car seat. She has a tantrum because we have to get out of the car. She has a tantrum because I picked out pants and not a dress.... The list could go on. Some of these tantrums are just crying and whining while others are all-out, on the floor, prostrate, wailing, kicking, can't breath hysterics! Where did my sweet, happy, silly little girl go?!

Sometimes, I just explain the situation to Katy. Sometimes, I just ignore the antics. Sometimes I just have to pick Katy up and move her to whatever destination is needed (bed, car seat, chair, whatever). Let's just say it's exhausting- for both parties. I'm told that this is just the beginning- Lord, help us! I'm also told that the threes are not much better- *GULP*!!
