Pumpkin Butt(s): Tantrum: Day 3

Holy jeez, we are going on a 3 day tantrum bender over at my house, which looked like this yesterday afternoon.

Other times her face is buried in the rug or the couch, or she is throwing a shoe across the room, or screaming for crackers. Pretty much anything will start a tantrum. Me asking her if she has to go potty, suggesting getting dressed, not allowing her to do EVERYTHING for herself, denying her anything, breathing, looking at her, feeding her....you get the picture.

Then there are the short moments of extreme cuteness, like these...

Learning how to ride a bike for the first time.

Drawing all over the sidewalk in chalk.

Enjoying and english muffin pizza lunch in the backyard.

So, it's not all bad. Plus getting her outside (if I can get clothes and shoes on her) and running around tires her out after a while. Although it's getting quite difficult for me to keep up with her which is turning out to be a safety hazard. Lately though, she's been wanting to hold hands during out walks, and I love that.

I got a check in the mail yesterday for almost $185 for consigning some of her old stuff at the JBF sale. Totally. Worth. It.

Tyler is really making progress upstairs. We bought flooring last week and he already has it half laid out. Not bad for a guy that works all day and comes home to do more work! Check it out, it's going to be so worth all the work in the end.

In order to maintain my sanity, I have been stealing slots of time for myself, on the weekends or during nap time. Last weekend I walked up to the Angry Catfish for a small mocha and A Baker's Wife for a large pear tart. It was delicious.
