Tantrums

Wow, things sure have been crazy with tantrums lately. I know it all goes with the territory of have a toddler, specifically a 2 year old, but it blows my mind how quickly we can go into tantrum mode! Cale can be playing or talking nicely the next minute and then he is yelling no or throwing things or trying to kick or hit the next. Somedays the hardest thing is not listening to him throw a fit, but it's remaining the parent. I kow that I have failed many times and lost my patience. Now don't get me wrong-the good times and fun times with him far outweigh the tantrums, it's just man when he has a fit, he can have a fit! We try to offer him choices before he starts to throw a fit-like would you like to do this or do you want mommy too-but when that doesn't work, then we count to 3 to let him know he has until 3 to listen or he goes to time out and most of the time for right now, we get to 3 and go to time out. I know this stage will pass, but I have to say I am so ready for it to already! Love you my sweet little man, but anytime you want to stop throwing tantrums is alright with your mommy and daddy!
