Where do children pick up tantrums from? Is this just a normal part of childhood and children as large? Trio points back at someone when he is being scolded and I know he gets that from me pretty soon he'll be snapping and pointing like I do. I know where he gets his habit from "burping" after his Daddy (it's actually very cute Albert will burp and then Trio will fake burp and then laugh). I know there are a couple of bad habits and good ones he'll pick up from his dad and me.
But for the life of me where the hell did he pick up his throwing tantrums? It's not like Albert and I throw ourselves on the floor when things don't go our way or anything like that. But he has started doing it recently and I'm like "What the pooh dude? Where did you pick this up?" It's very annoying and as the last blog said a nice little preview of how he twos will be if these last few months have been any indication. I am already dreading that and then the threes which I hear tell are even worse than the twos.
Not that life has been all sadness in the land of Trio as of late. We figured out what his Halloween costume can be (hopefully it will fit) and we've decided on Star Wars this year as the Nieto clans theme and he will be R2D2 if we can find one that fits him since it only goes up to 12 months. I mean I'm sure we get make it or even alter it if that were the case but we seem pretty solid on this idea and as such I will probably be Leia who knows what Albert will be as long as it's not Luke (that's just gross). He's starting to talk a little more and try to get his point across (sometimes in a nice way even) and I love watching him every day. It also sounds like his congestion is finally going away he has been dripping snot all day (gross I know but there really is no other way to describe it). He also is starting to call and look for me more often and is smart about getting where he wants to go even if it is not somewhere he should necessarily be (like drawers or in the water cooler, or taking stuff off the fridge) but I have to admire his persistence and intelligence in getting what he wants. I mean I say "No" a lot more now but still he knows what he wants and he'll do his most to get it and you have to admire that type of perseverance.
So hopefully I am able to get through this tantrum phase with a little bit of my sanity left by the time he turns...when do tantrums stop again? Dammit!
