Found your blog through Mike’s and LOVE your sense of humor toward parenting—while I don’t have kids, I’m glad I’m not the only one talking back in my head to those who become annoying!

When he goes on his first date, you can show this post to his girlfriend and then the score will be even.

He’s so cute! And I’m quite sure he will grow up to appreciate this picture making an appearance at several (ahem) opportune times…

No advice regarding tantrums. Although in my weaker moments I will let out a wail too – which surprisingly does tend to stop the tantrum! Good luck — my fingers are crossed for you!

Hehehe at pretty lil Will! In another 10 years, he will LOVE you for sharing that picture.

We are about a year behind you on the tantrums thing, so please keep copious notes on what does and doesn’t work, so I can have a cheat sheet. ) Seriously, everyone tells me the 3s are worse than the 2s, but we’re not even at two yet and she drives me CRAZY some days!

No advice (except that I think “spanking” does not work, as the above commenter suggested, and from experience, they do outgrow it-I think they are struggling with their independence), too cute in the tutu and wings, funny how when my girls’ friends, who are boys, come over do the same, but funny…..Olivia (she’s 4) loves to wear king crowns, superhero capes and carry a sword, go figure……

This is my 19 month old lately. I think sticking a fork in my eye would be more pleasurable than another one of his doozys……which happen every other minute.

repeat with me, this too shall pass!!
Great shot though….

Oh, and PS, for perspective, it could be worse!

Regarding B.’s suggestion, you could always follow Bill Cosby’s line of thinking: Lemonade=fruit, and cookies are made primarily of flour, water and eggs. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable breakfast!

Have you thought that the maybe the tantrums are coming because he was once dressed as a princess?!

Kidding, of course. Because, as I was reading, I was like, wait, when did she spend a few days with Aidan!?!

Two were a piece of cake. Three, definitely a challenge. For us now, it’s throwing basically anything not bolted down….and i’m not just talking ‘loud talking’ i’m talking screaming!

Ugh. We’ll ge through this. With ice cream, of course.

This is adorable.

My son loves to dress up. Good imaginations!
