Stella has started having some mini-tantrums. I call them "mini" because I know they're not as bad as they could be (yet). Last night when DH came home he handed her a box of Teddy Grahams that his Grandfather had given him for her. We let her have a few and then sat down to eat dinner. She ate a little bit and then started saying "teddy bear" and whining and refusing to eat the rest of her dinner. She looked so adorable, sitting in her high chair, and saying "teddy bear" over and over again, I just had to laugh at her. Toddler emotions are so funny to me, I can't help it!
And no, we didn't let her have any more teddy bears! Mean Mommy-1, Stella-0.
Re: Do you ever laugh at your LOs tantrums?
We are onto full time meltdowns and fake crying. I laugh at her all the time, usually while walking away or turning my head. She also knows how to tilt her head and act sweet for something she wants which cracks me up.
She is old enough to reason so if she wants something for after dinner we can say "if you eat the rest of x, you can have x". Which is nice.
That is cute, did you get it on video?

Last week I made Evan a pb&j for lunch and brought it out to his table in the living room. He loves to "help" with everything so he was pretty upset that I made his lunch w/out him. He proceeded to lay on the floor crying "do it myself" for about 5-10 minutes. Then he finally got up and started eating... and said (in the saddest little voice) "thanks mom, it is a good peender" (he calls peanut butter- peender) I just had to laugh at him!
