Ben is putting the capital T in Tantrum lately. While I realize that he is 2 years old and this is how it is, he is officially making me crazy.
Me: "Ben, it's time to put on your shoes."
Ben: "Nooooooooooooo!"
Me: "Ben, you have to finish your grapes before you get some pretzels."
Ben: "Nooooooooooooo!"
Me: "Ben, we're leaving to pick-up Caroline from school soon."
Ben: "Noooooooooooooo!"
Me: "Ben, you are the most ornery person that I know."
Ben: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
You get the picture. I've been taking deep breaths and praying for patience.
Fortunately, he still has his good moments too (between the tantrums). He's still a cute and loving little boy. Caroline has added the "Who let the Dogs Out" song to his repertoire, so that is entertaining when alternated with the "If You Want to Be My Lover" song.
Here is a recent good moment. Caroline spelled out the message in blocks (although it's a little dizzying to read over the carpet). How can someone that cute and innocent looking be capable of such intense tantrums??
CC If you are trying to scare us off of taking Ben on the 28th, forget it. He's coming with us.
