Rose has entered the temper tantrum phase. If she is not allowed to do something she generally has a tantrum. She'll yell "NO! AHHH!! NOOO!!". Her "AHH" is a loud shout of anger. Sometimes she'll throw herself on the floor, or depending on the situation, make it impossible to accomplish the task at hand. ie. flip away from a diaper change, or arch her back with all her might to avoid getting in her car seat. She has gotten it into her head lately that I should be able to sit with her on my lap in the car. A few times she has demanded to sit in my seat. She wiggled her way onto the floor and pointed at my seat demanding "mommy chair!". She also walked around to my door of the car one day trying to persuade me to let her sit with me.
Paige finds it a bit amusing and shrugs her shoulders and says "she's going to have a tantrum". It kinda makes the whole thing easier when there is someone else around to laugh about it with. The only bad time is getting ready to drop Paige off in the morning at school. She has only had 1 or 2 freak outs at that point, but it is really quite hard to get out the door in that case.
Rose has started to ask for her num num in these situations to calm herself down. "Nummy....nummy" she says. We want to start to limit her having it during the day as she has definitely regressed.
I think Paige started the tantrums at the same age, but luckily got over them shortly after the age of 2 as she could talk so well and communicate what she was thinking.
