Someone tell me what is up with my kid! Today is the second day that I took her to the photo place to have her 2-year (!!!) pictures taken. And again, today, she was so freakin' uncooperative that I had to leave there empty handed. She screamed! Consistently sometimes, and then would just cry a bit, but then would pretend she'd smile, and then would scream again. No kidding, I was going batty trying to get something out of her.Here's the visual description, as best as I can do it: Child standing on photo space; child squats down to her haunches; child's face turns red while this incredibly loud and shrill "no" issues forth from her mouth; child stands up with her arms out to her mother; tears begin to roll down her cheeks; child gets a hug, acquiesces and stands where she's supposed to stand; photographer prepares to get a photo; child squats ... and repeat as many times as you can in a 20-minute time span. We didn't get a single photo of the kid today.
And that was my morning! Add to that the wretched night's sleep; Daisy being on my last nerve; Brian deciding it would be a good idea to stay home today; and this ridiculously inconvenient cold. I am just the least happiest camper on the planet. So I'm going to finish the laundry, and then go to bed. I see my mommy tomorrow, so that's a fantastic thing. Here's hoping a decent night's sleep is ahead of me. I will take NyQuil.

Strap yourself in, it is just starting. Lia still does it for no particular reason except for that she can. I think that is just part of the whole growing process. I definately learned a lot about how to be patient over the last year.
At 3 they are getting fewer and farther apart. I think it is a combination of learning how to break the tantrum and her simply growing out of it.
The throw down tantrum in the grocery store is really a pain in the ass.
