New this week are tantrums. Kai's tantrum style is instant big crying coupled with body contortions if contained by something or someone. Sometimes with little shrieks. It started with him not wanting to get into the car seat on Thursday. Also winning a spectacle were his cousins leaving to go home, not being ready to come indoors and having to return my nephew's new toy car. It must be really difficult to be so sure of what you want and not have any way to say it. I try to remember how frustrating things must be for him at times. I have to admit that it is especially hard to do this while he is a little sobbing mess of a boy though. Distraction and redirection don't seem to hold any magic any longer. Time to break out the toddler taming books.
