We have reached a milestone- DS chucked his very first mini-tanty today. I was trying to get something done in the kitchen and he was being a typical clingy 12 month old and needing to hold onto my legs at all times. Well, I finally managed to distract him with the tupperware cupboard for a few minutes, but then I walked too close to him and I could see him start to come over to me- I thought maybe I could just kind of walk past him to the fridge, but as soon as I was out of reaching range, he fell from crawling posi onto his tummy and started flailing his arms and legs up and down and banging his hands on the ground. I was so surprised that first I started laughing and then I ran out of the room yelling to my husband "hey! Peter had his first tanty- you have to see this!". It was all over in a matter of seconds. But a line has been crossed....welcome to Tantyville.
All I can say Amberj is get used to it. They get pretty bad. I've just had to deal with a massive 2 1/2 year old one and I just want to go in to a corner and cry.
We had out first a couple of days ago after not being allowed to bring a wet umbrella inside. DD is 18months so we did pretty well getting this far- and it was more a screaming fit than throwing herself on the floor. Not nice......
im with Evie... I remember ava's first tanty, thought it was funny and now it's a daily occurance! Wait till peter does it in the shops! That's my favourite, because you can't discipline them with out everyone staring at you and judging how your doing it
The very first tantrum!

LOL Jazz had her first a few weeks ago, it was hilarious! Her heads went up on the side of her head, she throw herself face down, and screamed.
