We don't have very many days where Caydin acts like a monster but this morning has definitely been one of those days. In fact, we were just talking the other day about how few tantrums he has been throwing lately. Caydin is usually a very happy and funny kid but mornings like today make his momma want to go crazy. (In reference to the title.... he really did wake up on the wrong side of the bed.) His screaming fits this morning have been over getting dressed to leave the house, picking up books that HE threw on the floor, eating lunch, and putting on his underwear after using the bathroom (shooooot, I don't care if he wears them or not but then he throws more fits because I didn't help him put them on.....)
Caydin is learning that he has consequences for the bad choices. When he didn't get dressed or pick up his books, he wasn't allowed to leave to go to Grandma's. Grandma's house is probably his most favorite place to go (besides Gymboree or the toy store). After he finally listened ;) we went to Grandma's to eat lunch and he thought he would spit his food on the ground and not listen so we had to come home. Poor kid sobbed the whole drive home. That must of been a big consequence for the little guy.
SO thankful that he is napping now.... hopefully he won't wake up on the "wrong side of the bed again" and will have a better afternoon!
And to save this post from being very depressing.... Here are some recent pictures!
