TANTRUMS… screaming, kicking, lie on the floor, nonsensical tantrums…
Admittedly, the first time it happened it was quite funny mostly because his anger was directed at a bottle of bubbles… a bottle which he could not open, did not want help opening, did not want to open, wanted help opening, and wanted to have taken away all at the same time (at least that was what I could gather between his bouts of crying and screaming). I really wanted to document the moment on video but the camera was in the kitchen and his thrashing around the living room was a bit too violent to leave unmonitored. The whole thing lasted maybe 3 mins and ended just as quickly as it began… one minute the hulk, the next my sweet little boy. All in all quite the amusing episode, but I really do feel bad for Aaric – growing up is hard.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep my sense of humor about these tantrums for the duration (which will hopefully be short.) Wish me luck.
