tantrum like crazy....

This morning Paige was totally tantrum-y again!! It all started, once again, with trying to put her sweatshirt on. She refused to wear any shirt but a t-shirt this morning, and I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt and sweatshirt. "No no NO"'s all over the place. I think I have discovered it is worse on the days I wash and blowdry my hair when she is up. If she gets bored, or thinks she is getting ignored, she gets a little crazy.

I had to go to Zellers this morning to pick up some new sippy cups [and chuck the other ones since they were old and were starting to be un-cleanable (not a word, I know)], so I decided to pick up a toddler book. At this point in time, I was willing to get anything and picked up the only toddler behaviour book they had which was kind of rough and beat up looking (the "moms frantically flipping through the book deciding whether to buy it before their kid has yet another tantrum in Zellers" kind of beat up). But it is by the same author of our baby book, so I thought it would be pretty good. We'll see what sort of insight it gives us.

Triggers - can be iffy at best. If it is because she THINKS she is not getting enough attention, that could be a problem. Cuase I think you give her more than enough!!! Lots of info on this!!!!! Love Gramma Val

I got "mother of all toddler books"

So far, so good!! I'm kind of glad I didn't get it too early, since now it is all relavent...except all the talk about "learning to walk"
