I don't know what happened to my sweet little boy.
Someone has replaced him with a screaming, kicking, hot-headed mess.
Both kids started with the "Terrible Twos" around 18 months so we've experienced temper tantrums with both of them.
Kendall is my drama queen, pure and simple. She'll start crying over something and you can tell that she's over it within a few minutes but she continues to "fake cry" for another 10 minutes. Looking over her shoulder the whole time to see if I'm watching.
Christopher is definitely quicker to throw a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants but he was also easier to calm down.
Until the last week.
When he doesn't get his way, he has started throwing himself down on the ground, kicking and screaming with face bright red. He would usually allow me to come over and hug him and that would calm him down but something has changed.
He has turned into the Incredible Hulk. Yes, sometimes he does rip his clothes off.
I'm really hoping it's just another phase of toddlerhood.
On the brightside, it will make his Halloween costume easy.

I don't know how to tell you this, but age 3 is far worse than two. My two older girls were awful at 3, and my son is 3 now, and it is the worst age ever! When they are three, they kick, and scream real words - hurtful words that make you feel like a bad mom. BY the end of age three, they are a little more rational and able to control their emotions better. Good luck. This behavior will ebb and flow, and when they are all cuddled on your lap giving you kisses, you won't even remember the incredible HUlk!
