This week I have the chance to co-host the awesome Tattler Thursday!
I'm really god at tattling, and here's my tattling tale...
I've never been a big believer in the "terrible twos" (in fact, most of Josiah's early years were "terrible" lol). I believe that children go through phases and throw temper tantrums here & there and eventually (with creative control techniques and patience) stop having as many fits.
This time, though, Malachi has convinced me that some children do indeed go through a "terrible two's" stage. He has been tossing tantrums left and right-so much that I think he might be the next Mike Tyson in training!
Malachi's tantrums started out as amusing-when he was about one, he would lay down on his back and throw a trantrum-only since he was on his back, he looked like a poor, helpless turtle with his flailing legs (apparently toddlers *do not* have an instruction manual for these types of things)
The one he tossed down the other day was no different. Well, I guess it kind of was. His tantrums have evolved from "the turtle" to a standing up tantrum. It can be pretty amusing, because the poor kid looks like he just can't figure out the proper way to thrrow a tantrum.
Like most toddlers, when he gets into this mood, his anger gets the best of him, and he tends to scream, cray and once in a while, throw things. Like his almost-full cup of milk. But like I said, he's only two and has yet to master the art of throwing a tantrum, let alone the techniue of proper throwing.
In his rage, he tossed his open cup to the ground. Now, if you and I take a cup and throw it on the ground, we'll most likely aim it sideways (try it!). This kid threw it straight down. I laughed. Sure, milk went all over the floor, but a nice volume remained in the cup as the cup stayed upright on the carpet. As I was throwing my head back, laughing at his lack of coordination (did I mention I was exhausted) I looked up and saw spots on the ceiling. Milk spots. The kid got milk on my ceiling!!! Who spills liquids on their ceiling?? Who cleans their ceiling?? Who can reach their ceiling??
This is when Mommy broke down. HOW am I going to clean milk off the ceiling?? So I tossed the kid a rag and the spray bottle (it's a completely safe natural cleaner that he loves using) and told him to clean it. AND figure out how to get milk off the ceiling. THAT was his problem now.
Okay, friends! What's *your* Tattler-Thursday tale?? Link up!
