This week has been particularly tiring and stressful on my part. I was never prepared for EJ's tantrums this week. I thought I could easily handle him. I've even mentioned that all his tantrums were mild and manageable. But this week is different, really different. My weapon against a toddler's tantrum weren't as effective as it had before. EJ has truly tested my patience this week or what's left of it.
If I have armed myself and read more about this stage (toddler's tantrums) before instead of wasting my time reading my favorite blogs or researching on bar faucets, I wouldn't have been too stressed.
I found this on Bounty.com "Tantrums are illogical – your toddler isn’t being naughty – he won’t know why he’s having one so there’s no use being cross with him."
EJ was in a good mood yesterday. He almost had a tantrum last night but we were able to stop it before it became a full blown tantrum. Today he is sweet and a model child.
Ahh...the joys of parenting. I couldn't ask for more :))

isn't that insane, that toddlers don't know why they're having tantrums. it's so interesting. perhaps it's all part of growing up.
I think they still can't express thoroughly what they want even if they can talk already hence the tantrums. When they grow older tantrums lessen. Part of growing up really :))
