We are officially two - and officially expressing our terrible two temper tantrums!!
After swimming all morning with her friends at the babysitter I went to pick her up at 11:30. We played for another half hour or so and it was time to go. All the other kids came out of the water, Harper came out as well and then she lost it. She was happy to take her clothes off, but putting more clothes on was another story. She lost it!! I even tried to let her have her way a little bit because we were in public - oh no - it was bad. Well after a while it was obvious it was just time to scoop her up and leave - naked. So yes I plopped her in the carseat completely naked and started to drive home. She was still crying and flipping out at this point. She wanted the music on until it was on - then she would want it off, when it was off she wanted it on. She did not know what she wanted she was just exhausted, well 15 minutes into our drive home she passed out. She just couldn't take the sleepiness. This was one time I was not going to try and keep her awake until we got home :)
Never be embarrassed in public. Just smile and wait her out. Don't believe what anybody says....there isn't ONE Mom who hasn't gone through it. :) and lived to tell it! You're a great mom ‼️
