You hear of these horror stories about how your sweet child makes this transformation from a quiet little baby to this tantrum throwing beast. My son recently turned 2, and it seems that the stories are starting to come true. We had a birthday party for my son and things were going good.
Then over Thanksgiving weekend the beast started to make it's way to the surface. It seems like this whining and crying phase is just beginning for my boyfriend and I to deal with. We were told from our Parents as Teachers instructor to just ignore the tantrums and he will stop. I am sorry after 30 minutes of the screaming, it makes it hard to ignore. Some days are better than others of course. We now might go days without a huge fit, but when they do occur you better stand back. The arms and legs start swinging and you get to hear this wild animal scream. Then once the fit is over, the kid is all happy and acts like nothing has happened. Crazy I tell you. I have to admit that I do love this age because he is talking so much and you never know what is going to come out of his mouth. He is so smart and is picking things up way to fast, but at the same time it is fun.
