    DS had a tanty this morning because I stirred his porridge - normally I pour the milk on & stir it before I give it to him, this morning I'd put it out & went to the loo & DH gave him the porridge & didn't stir it. I stired it before he started eating to ensure no ho9t spots and then the tanty started. It went on for nearly 10 mins, I thought it was over when I gave him a pear (& he ate that happily) and started again when I asked if he was going to eat the porridge. He raged for another 5 mins before eating the porridge.

    DD has thrown some corkers lately.

    Went on a flight to Sydney. DP made the fatal mistake of putting her into his empty seat while he put some stuff into the overhead locker. Then we transferred her to my knee so he could sit down. Much howling because she now didn't have her own seat. ALL ... THE ... WAY ... TO ... SYDNEY.

    Went swimming. The pool was freezing. We were freezing. DD was so cold she shivered the entire time but she loved it. We stayed in there for a good amount of time but of course not long enough for DD and she screamed the place down when we got her out. The two of us couldn't get her dressed for 10 mins because she was kicking and carrying on so much. When she finally calmed down, I said to her, "did you like going swimming DD?" And she replied in her best Aussie accent, "naaaaaaaaaaaaah."

    Ashton lost the plot this morning cause he couldn't go to creche. He goes to a school creche on the days i do craft and scrapbooking there and we walk past the creche building every morning. I think he thought it was Wednesday lol.

    He also had a tanty one morning in the middle of the shopping centre (approx 10am) cause I wouldn't sit down in the food court to buy something to eat. We have not eaten in the food court for a good year LOL.

    Oh dear - I guess DS2 isn't the only tanty thrower.

    Fiona, that must have been a very long flight! I had to chuckle at the 'naaaahhh' though. I could just see my boys doing that!

    DD2 had a corker one morning that started the moment I got her out of her cot. As far as I can tell it was over her pyjamas? Specific cause of grievance unknown..??? Anyway I had to drag her out and get her dressed so DD1 wasn't late for school (which she was in the end anyway) but the tanty continued over non-specific issues (clothes, nappy, milk, highchair, bib, porridge, highchair, drink, dog, tv) for a good 45 minutes>>>????!

    Tonight DD slipped over in the bathroom and banged her head (she was fine), so i picked up DS and carried him out so he wouldn't slip also...

    So he proceeded to have a tanty that i carried him and he wanted to walk and fall over and bump his head also....

    Grr.. tired much??

    I was tempted to put him out on the nature strip for the rubbish collection

    I have a very clear memory of my sister chucking a MASSIVE tant on her first day of grade 1...because her uniform wasn't "pretty enough".
