Terrific Two's
Lately Scott's been going through one of those fun stages. He yells, screams, throws tantrums, and just loves to push my buttons. Talk about a lesson in patience for me! But this morning's tantrum takes the cake. When I went in his room to get him out of his crib, he stared at my maternity shirt (which I thought looked pretty) and slowly touched it. I asked, "Do you like my new shirt?" and he replied, "Wear a fiffrent (different) one shirt!" Of course I wasn't going to change just to suit his tastes, and his voice started escalating into, "WEAR A FIFFRENT ONE SHIRT!!!!" repeated at least a dozen times. And the thrashing around and screaming and crying came with it. I couldn't help but sit back and smile because his tantrum was based on something so ridiculous (is that terrible of me?). He wouldn't even calm down until I left the room for a few minutes and he realized he wanted me more than he wanted me to be in a different one shirt. What a fun stage, that I hope passes quickly!

oh my! sounds like the fashion police! are you sure the shirt was cute?!
kidding! kids can be so hilarious.
Sheesh, doesn't he realize you're running out of "fiffrent one" options these days. :)
If he's giving you grief you just drop "scottowotto" (Katie's latest name for him) off at our place any time.
I'm so glad Danny's "fiffrent one" tantrums have only been about his clothes so far. Looks like I'm in for trouble! :)
Way to go, Kathleen! One could just as easily get as frustrated as he did. It's nice to know that you can still have a sense of humor with episodes like that happening all the time. It really is quite funny though! When are you due, bytheway? Good luck on everything!
