3 year old needs a loving home

*throws RAGING fits over not getting a transformer straw cup at HEB in which she ends up spilling lemon aid all over the place (the lemonaid which was given to her as a treat for being so well behaved just 5 minutes before)

* throws fits over not getting a ballon

*screams bloody murder so loud that everyone within a 5 mile radius of you will think you are beating her

J/K!  but if you had asked me 30 minutes ago i was bordering on serious.

we went to heb this morning to get food supplies for a shower i am throwing this weekend.   abby has been having GREAT behavior lately so i was hopeful. well she had two complete absolute.all.out. meltdowns in the last 10 minutes we were there. Tongue Tied  i swear the whole store thought i was mommy dearest.  i got quite the looks!

*oh and incase anyone was wondering why she did not get the transformer straw cup or ballon is because she likes to play this game where she says she does not want something. so i gave her 2 chances and she insisted she did not want it (because she wanted the transformer toy) and i would not given in.

    Oh man!  I know how that happens some days... AND WHY is it always in the grocery store?

    No thanks!  I've got a 2.5 year old that can pull the same tricks. I'm pretty sure I can't handle more than one at that age!

    The title of this post alone made me giggle.  Maybe we should switch kids for awhile?  Mine is MUCH better for others than she is for me.  Her hearing seems to only block my voice.

    I've SO been there!  I thought 3 was much worse than 2.  I've walked out of the store on more than one occasion, and once was literally as I pulled into the check out line.  Once, my sister's 3 year old threw a fit (similar to the one over the Transformer toy) at the BACK of the biggest grocery store in their town, and my mom walked in the front of the store and could hear my nephew SCREAMING....Ugh.  I don't envy you at all.

    And to not being able to handle 2 at that age at the same time....thanks for the reality check....here I was dreaming about the twins being on the outside of my body...being able to hold them, snuggle them, love them, and only fretting over lack of sleep and getting routines down....now I'm envisioning them at 3.

    It does get better, but the next phase has it's own set of challenges.

    Why is this? DS just started daycare and he's told it's nap time he walks right over to cot and goes to sleep. At home he screams bloody murder for a minute or two and then passes out? I guess I rather them behave with others but it would be nice to be rid of the drama sometimes.

    I would take her, but I would have to trade an almost 3 year old who screams on overnight flights.  So much that people three or four rows on either side turn to scowl at you.  And then after he's done throwing his 45 minute tantrum, he crawls underneath the row of seats and falls asleep.

    In Abby's defense, that was my reaction to not getting a Transformers straw cup too.  Stick out tongue
