I soooo feel your pain, agony, humor, relief, frustration, and so on. We had a great break from the meltdowns for a bit and then they returned again recently.

Even at his birthday party, people warned me. I blew it off. No way. <br />YES way...I have had similar scenes of walking out with a shrieking (42 pound) 3 year old. The best part is that I am a child and family therapist, so I just want to pass out business cards when this happens.<br />It's all very developmentally normal. They want their independence THEIR way and they are very stubborn. I also think this is the point when parents are driven to drink...<br />Best,<br />TinaSmartBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187513727826950625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824745890000210678.post-84394588494445024832010-06-30T22:49:01.280-04:002010-06-30T22:49:01.280-04:00As long as the baby is healthy...As long as the baby is healthy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824745890000210678.post-84163395529962766242010-06-30T22:12:23.106-04:002010-06-30T22:12:23.106-04:00They can be so damn unreasonable.
