Oh, I could fill a book with all the ridiculous reasons my children have
freaked out. I thought I'd keep my camera handy and capture some of
these special moments from my own child. It's tough being a toddler!
Here's the proof:
 |
| I chose to sing him "Jesus Loves Me" at bedtime. He wanted "Step In Time" from Mary Poppins. |
 |
| Daddy was giving Mommy a hug. |
 |
| Daddy took him out of his carseat instead of Mommy. "Mommy take me ouuuuuut"...for the next 30 minutes. |
|
 |
| I put the tray of the highchair (which he doesn't use) in the dishwasher. |
 |
| He asked me to put music on. I put on Justin Timberlake. He lost his mind. |
 |
He wanted hot dogs. But not the hot dogs I gave him on his plate. The OTHER hot dogs...in the refrigerator.
|
It's not all nuddles, people...but they certainly make these little bouts of insanity easier to sweep under the rug.

I feel like he has a point with the Justin Timberlake thing..
I am going to copy you and document my child. Should be interesting! Love your pics and "explanations"
Therapeutic. Thank you
Love. I feel like I can write a book on crazy reasons my Jack has freaked out! Lol
These are fantastic. I (in my own moments of fits) forget what minimal issues can set them off! Great way to see past their tantrums. Thanks for sharing.
I can't stop laughing because I totally understand. I just wish I could laugh when my daughter is going through these moments! The crying/whining is like nails on a chalk board.
The high chair tray is my favorite.
I'm sorry Carter, but I laughed. I am concerned about your reaction to JT, though. He is friend not foe.
I know you cherish these moments because when Carter used to cry it was due to pain. Now, he is living a pain free life and crying over toddler stuff. When I read your blog that is what I thought instantly! God is good.
Ha ha! I should do my own blog post about that!
Brandy, THANK YOU for that! I think the same thing all the time!!
This totally happens at our house. Max is 21mo and I was thinking this same thing when this past week he was screaming at the fridge for a half an hour for cottage cheese. I told him 'you cant have cottage cheese for every meal.' Screams and tears.
You have just taught me how to stop losing my mind and start pointing and laughing! Thank you! This is going to be one of my new regular IG posts...now to come up with the perfect #hashtag
I love the expressive eye brows on your little guy! I DO remember those days!
I was just thinking I've had enough of Kaiyah crying for "no reason". I don't think she feels good... but seriously... enough of the terrible threes. Enough.
I just spent an hour on that site. I have homework to do. Sigh...
Just expressing himself so that someday he can be a great writer like his mom.
