My mommy crystal ball gets a little fuzzy in the middle of the night.
If it had been working properly, I may have anticipated--and prevented--the meltdown being so passionately performed behind me right now.
Maya woke up about a half hour ago coughing, and about the third time I got out of bed, I decided to go rock her sweetly in a steamy bathroom while the shower ran hot next to us. Oops. Little Miss I'm-Almost-Two decided that she wanted to take a bath, bubbles included please, and when I said no (it was hot! I was tired! Gimme a break!), she went into the first full-blown tantrum I've seen from her yet. Kicking the floor. Screaming (she's already coughing, it ain't pretty, people). Turning bright red in the face.
When she started hitting me, I decided she could finish the tantrum on her bedroom floor and I would vent to all of you. Thanks for listening!
grrr... it was a spectacular sight. Even Dad tried to put her in a headlock and rock her to sleep. That did no good, but when she finally went back to bed, somehow I slept through the 5am repeat.
