Then, when we got home, the tantrums continued. I would not allow him to have a popsicle, and when he asked for a treat, I offered grapes. Big mistake! Nick and I are really trying to limit his sugar right now, and I think he is going through withdrawals. For the next 4 1/2 hours straight, he threw tantrums. Nick and I finally put him to bed at 6:45 (which of course caused another fit). As soon as we were done with prayers and story time, I left Nick to tend to him, and I went to the store and bought some Phish Food, Half Baked, and a 2 liter of caffeine free Coke (and NOT the diet stuff!!!)
The day has ended well though. I just went to check on Brody and he looks like the angel that he is. We all have our days!

Oh my goodness! I can totally relate with the tantrum thing! Keeley gets into a funk occasionally & it is bad. I am hoping that it won't be like this forever. Praying that it isn't foreshadowing of the teenage years!
By the way, he looked very handsome for Mother's Day!
you deserve the ice cream and coke!
It's not easy to be on the front line, Nikki, but you're gonna love it! :)
And yes, you deserved the treat!
The sugar thing is an on going battle. My heart goes out to you with the tantrums!
The tantrums do go away for the to rebel in other ways.
Mother's should definitely get 'a go straight to the Celestrial Kingdom pass.'
